More Than 1,000 Police Raids Conducted Against Drug Dealers in Hungary
- 7 Apr 2025 7:29 AM
As part of more than 1,000 operations mobilising more than 3,500 police officers, several hundreds of kilograms of drugs have been seized and traffickers arrested, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview to public radio.
Meanwhile, the government has submitted to parliament the necessary draft amendments "to show the police as well as people that their work makes sense and that people detained in operations to eliminate drug networks will get proper and severe punishment," Orban said.
"We must demonstrate to social groups committed to eliminating drugs -- to teachers, parents and policemen -- that their work makes sense ... by taking the traffickers out of circulation and seizing the drugs."
The use of "forceful terms such as manhunt" is also meant to show that the government maintains zero tolerance, and work will continue until the network is eliminated, "even if that may take many long months," he said.
