Petition for evidence-based drug policies in Hungary
The EATG has signed the petition of NGOs, service providers and activists urging the Hungarian government to return to the principles of a balanced and evidence-based drug policy.
A few weeks before it takes over the EU presidency, the Hungarian government announced that it does not support the country's national drug strategy as it is based on "drug liberalization and harm reduction" - even though the document is supported by the vast majority of professionals and civil society organizations and it is fully in line with the EU drug strategy.
The national drug coordinator was dismissed, the National Drug Prevention Institute was abolished and the drug budget was significantly cut. NGOs walked out from the meeting of the governmental drug coordination committee in protest.
