​​The Minister of Justice Alina Gorgiou initiated, with the support of PNL parliamentarians, a draft law called “May 2” in memory of the victims of the accident caused by a driver under the influence of drugs on the coast. The bill aims to eliminate the possibility for drug traffickers to get away with parole. However, the much-hyped bill suffers from the same fundamental problem as other laws in this area: the lack of distinction between traffickers and their consumer victims. This attitude towards them serves the police and prosecutors, who justify their work by sending to prison consumers who really need support.

There are two important laws in this area. The first is Law 143/2000 on the fight against illegal drug trafficking and consumption, which in Article 2 provides for the following: “Cultivation, production, production, experimentation, extraction, preparation, transformation, offer, sale, sale, distribution, delivery under any by which right of ownership, forwarding, transportation, acquisition, purchase, storage or other operations related to the circulation of dangerous narcotics without the right are punishable by imprisonment for a term of 3 to 15 years with the deprivation of certain rights”.
