ER Editor: Hungary steps up to the plate once more in protecting children and families and society in general, this time from the illegal drugs angle.
This article from the end of May, 2025 is interesting for its examination of the hardline Orban’s government has taken to cracking down on drugs and drug crime. But you have to reverse the whinging and whining in the article, written from the ‘harm reduction’ perspective, which Canada has been woefully suffering from over the last decade. Hungary used to have a progressive drug policy up to Orban’s party getting in in 2010, but Orban’s non-progressive policy since then has failed, they claim, since young people have using more drug than ever before —

Hungary Unleashes Major Drug-Prevention Task-Force To Safeguard ‘The Fabric Of Society’
Major General Sándor Töreki, Hungary’s deputy chief of police for criminal matters, has revealed that the Delta action program launched this year has led to a large-scale, offensive professional action to detect drug-related crimes, reports Mandiner.
He highlighted that thousands of procedures have been initiated, significant quantities of drugs have been seized, and significant financial assets and assets have been seized from the perpetrators of the crimes.
The program has been running for six months, and according to Sándor Töreki, professional evaluations are currently underway, and the results will be presented in the near future.
Prevention, noted the general, is also playing an important role, for which a professional program has been developed.
“Not only does the school year start on September 1st, but so does drug prevention.”
At a drug prevention press conference this morning, he noted how drug use and drug distribution destroy the fabric of society, that drugs tear apart human communities, and destroy the security of society as a whole.
Mass consumption of designer drugs has appeared in medium-sized and small settlements across Hungary.
According to the general, the police want to be the driving force behind drug prevention activities. The program will also call upon civilians, as they also need to carry out drug prevention in schools. So far, 3,049 police officers are participating in the REDP program, which school guards are also joining.
With more than 200 million forints available for prevention, Sándor Töreki said that the target audience of the program is students, teachers and parents. They will participate in professional workshops, where the harmful effects of drug use will be presented. Any work done in educational institutions will be constantly monitored and measured via questionnaires.
There will also be joint programs with prisons, and authorities are continuously investigating what drug prevention programs exist in neighboring countries to learn from them as well.
According to László Horváth, the government commissioner responsible for the eradication of drug trafficking, strict action is essential, and strict legislation is needed. The goal is to “protect children and ensure their development,” he said.
According to the politician, drugs now pose a direct threat to all youth, and dealers have also targeted areas around schools. He said that the domestic drug situation has changed recently and a new program is needed, as he highlighted: “The key is to act quickly.”
