Radu Marinescu critică propunerea de dezincriminare a deținerii de droguri pentru consum: „Riscă să afecteze tocmai lupta împotriva traficului sau să încurajeze consumul”

Former Justice Minister Radu Marinescu criticizes a legislative proposal to decriminalize drug possession for personal use, arguing it may hinder drug trafficking combat efforts and encourage consumption. He emphasizes the need for prioritizing serious crimes, particularly drug trafficking, and suggests that decriminalization could reduce cooperation with law enforcement. While acknowledging some valid arguments for the proposal, he believes it risks undermining the fight against drug trafficking. Marinescu advocates for legislative adjustments that avoid disproportionate penalties while maintaining accountability for drug possession. He stresses the importance of improving prevention and support services for addiction, stating that legal reforms should coincide with enhanced preventive measures.
