Ungarn. A Failed Attack Against the Pro-Harm Reduction Drug Strategy of Budapest

Ungarn. A Failed Attack Against the Pro-Harm Reduction Drug Strategy of Budapest

The City Council of Budapest rejected a proposal from the government party, Fidesz, to abolish the city’s progressive drug strategy and to create a new, repressive strategy.

The Budapest City Council discussed and rejected a motion submitted by Alexandra Szentkirályi, the head of the ruling Fidesz party’s fraction in the capital, that proposed to cancel the Budapest Drug Strategy. The document, which was prepared by the Budapest Drug Council (BKEF), with the meaningful and broad involvement of civil society, was adopted in December 2023 by the opposition majority. (Drogriporter, Ungarn, 29.11.2024)
