Hungary Enshrines Drug Prohibition in National Constitution
New legislation establishes a zero-tolerance policy against drug-related activities in Hungary.
Hungary is set to enshrine in its constitution a prohibition on the production, distribution, use, and promotion of illegal drugs.
The announcement was made by László Horváth, the government commissioner responsible for combating drug trafficking, during a joint press conference with law enforcement officials.
Effective March 1, a nationwide crackdown on drug dealers will commence as part of an initiative aimed at eradicating drug trade in the country.
Horváth highlighted the intention to create a legal framework that would expedite, enhance, and improve police operations against drug trafficking, and act as a deterrent to dealers.
The government has emphasized that there is no place for drug liberalization in Hungary, citing surveys indicating that 92 percent of the population supports stringent measures against drug dealers.
This assertion provides both authorization and determination for the battle against drugs, according to Horváth.
Sándor Török, the deputy chief of the national police, stated that combating drug trafficking will be the police's primary focus in 2025. In line with this commitment, a strategic action program named Delta has been developed.
Within the framework of the National Investigation Bureau, a 210-member unit composed of detectives and operational police officers has been established to coordinate specialized work nationwide.
Additionally, task forces will be formed at county police headquarters, and efforts will be made to acquire sampling tools and other essential equipment.
The action program will also include preventative measures, which are intended to involve educational institutions in the fight against drug-related issues.
This comprehensive approach indicates a multi-faceted strategy to address the challenges posed by illegal drug activities in Hungary.
