“Drug trafficking is a direct threat to public health and especially to the young generation ”said Crin Antonescu, emphasizing that, if the President of Romania will become, he will turn the fight against the traffickers into a “National priority” and insisting that there must be “zero tolerance for networks that take advantage of the vulnerability of adolescents”.
In the context of yesterday’s tragic incident in the capital, when a 20 -year -old died due to drugs, Antonescu reiterated the proposal in his presidential program, which provides for the reorganization of the National Anti -Drug Agency (the Drug Combating Administration) in the United States, with “Clear prerogatives, sufficient resources and international cooperation, capable of effectively acting against traffic networks.”
If the president will become, Crin Antonescu will set up an advisory working group in addition to the presidency, composed of “Specialists, doctors, non-governmental organizations and people on the ground“, For long -term solutions. In addition, he stressed that the state must be a real support for consumers, not a source of stigmatization:”For consumers, especially for young people, the state will provide real support for the exit of addiction, not stigmatization, but a chance of healing ”.
Crin Antonescu demanded the emergency implementation of the law that provides for the creation of 8 detox centers in each region of the country. He also appealed to teachers to participate from the position of children in the fight against drugs “I call for teachers from all over the country to pay attention 100% drug fighting, to be with authorities, parents, to keep children from this. I wish that in Bucharest, from September, there will be an important program in schools, as people asked and as needed ”, emphasized the presidential candidate.
