Outrageous! Karácsony supports drug addicts – Civils Info

The drug strategy in Budapest is the first document in 14 years in which the activities of activists fighting for drug liberalization bear fruit, the Drug Research Institute emphasized.

The strategy of Gergely Karácsony's drug team is unworkable and must be withdrawn as it cannot protect the people of Budapest. The institute also found that out

The document was created by left-wing politicians, TASZ activists and pseudo-civilians who describe themselves as independent.

The international drug propaganda network teamed up with Hungarian drug activists and Gergely Karácsony gave them space, the Drug Research Institute (DKI) said. As it is written, Péter Sárosi, who had previously become the face of domestic drug propaganda as a lay historian, played a significant role in the development of Budapest's drug strategy. According to his own statements, he was head of the drug policy program of the organization Társaság a Szabadságógógekért (TASZ), which tried in several cases to influence Hungarian domestic politics using international sources. In addition, Sárosi publishes drug propaganda content on 444.hu.

In addition to him, the drug strategy material also includes the name of Tamás Kardos, who is listed as a drug law expert on the TASZ website. Another member of the capital drug team is Tamás Fazekas, who previously worked as a lawyer for Péter Juhász, one of the most prominent political representatives of Hungarian drug activism. Anikó Sokacz, who has been a municipal representative in Zugló since 2014 as a candidate of the Left Alliance (lost in this year's election), also plays a role in the capital's drug squad and currently supports the MSZP mayor Csaba Horváth, who has been charged with corruption by the central prosecutor's office.

The creation of the strategy was prepared by an “independent” survey registered by the Hungarian Addiction Society (MAT). This is also interesting because

The leaders of the MAT participate in the capital's drug team.

The company's president is János Szemelyácz, who has worked closely with Sárosi for many decades. Katalin Felvinczi, Secretary General of MAT, was instrumental in the survey and the development of the material. Noémi Nyíri and Judit Szécsi are also members of the Karácsony drug team and board members of the company.

According to the DKI, the material on the capital's drug strategy is an ideological pamphlet.

There are two reasons for this: the loss of technical and administrative focus and the lack of specifics. They make the professionally unacceptable drug liberalization argument: If it's legal to use smartphones and consume alcohol, why shouldn't it be possible to smoke a grass cigarette for recreational purposes?

The medicines strategy makes recommendations that contradict regulation at country or EU level.

The capital can only solve the worsening drug chaos if it builds the strategy within its legal framework, the institute emphasized. They added that the Drug Strategy Work Plan only envisages the creation of five working groups, which is a completely unnecessary bureaucratic tool as they have no powers, no real plan and no corresponding budget.

Under the heading of drug prevention, the Karácsony Capital Drug Team is examining the possibility of adopting what it believes is a good union practice of organizing drug testing programs and setting up supervised drug abuse rooms. The drug testing programs stipulate that a laboratory at the parties examines the drug user's tablet free of charge, provides information about the contents and then returns the tablet to its owner. Supervised drug consumption rooms are places where the user can consume drugs safely and with medical or nursing support.

Both examples are tantamount to supporting drug use and strengthening the case for drug liberalization.

They are also pushing for a needle exchange program, although it does not solve the problem but rather perpetuates it while causing public discontent. The premises designed for such activities focus on drug users, dealers, crime and the complete elimination of the cleanliness and integrity of the environment.

The institute said that one could see what the left-wing political forces in Hungary would do if they took on the role of government.
