”New Designer Drugs Flooding Into Budapest, from the Street to Luxury Clubs”

• 13 Mar 2025 7:06 AM

The metropolitan assembly's strategy against drug abuse "will not protect young people", Alexandra Szentkirályi, the head of the ruling parties' group in the assembly, said on Facebook on Wednesday.

Szentkiralyi insisted the document, supported by Mayor Gergely Karacsony and the opposition Tisza Party, "does not focus on fighting drug abuse but promotes such measures as distributing needles or ensuring space for using drugs".

She noted that twice as many people die from drug abuse in Budapest as the national average.

"Young people face the simultaneous hazards of traditional and new designer drugs with drugs flooding Budapest from the street to luxury clubs," she said.

Szentkiralyi demanded that "the city should declare zero tolerance and its opposition to attempts to legalise drug abuse in any form, break all ties with pro-drug organisations and offer its cooperation to the government's fight against drugs."
