Procurorul general Cristina Chiriac respinge proiectul care dezincriminează deținerea de droguri

The Public Ministry opposes the legislative initiative to decriminalize drug possession for personal use, citing public health risks and weakened anti-trafficking measures. Prosecutor General Cristina Chiriac emphasized that reducing penalties could undermine drug prevention efforts and harm vulnerable populations, particularly minors. The Ministry argues that illicit drug use is a significant public health issue that affects families and communities. It warns that relaxing penalties without proper impact studies could disrupt national drug policy coherence. The current legal framework already allows for differentiated treatment of consumers, and the Ministry advocates for a comprehensive approach that combines legal measures with prevention and rehabilitation programs.
