Patriarhia Română reacționează la proiectul privind dezincriminarea deținerii de droguri. Avertisment privind riscurile pentru tineri: „Prevenirea consumului trebuie să prevaleze”

The Romanian Patriarchate expresses concern over a proposed law decriminalizing drug possession for personal use, emphasizing the need to prioritize life, health, and community well-being. They warn that such changes should not imply that drug use is trivial or acceptable. The Church highlights the risks for children and youth, advocating for prevention and support rather than stigmatization. They call for firmness against drug trafficking and stress the importance of compassion for those struggling with addiction. The reaction follows a Senate proposal to eliminate prison sentences for personal drug possession, replacing them with fines.
