With Germany preparing to legalize the use of cannabis for recreational purposes (this is the agreement between the political forces that give life to the nascent Scholz government), the issue is back in topicality also in Italy.
And the majority forces are very divided. The proposal is launched by Fabiana Dadone, Minister of Youth Policies: "It is a choice that Italy should evaluate but we need to reach a majority in Parliament, this is the delicate point", she said on the occasion of the VI National Conference on addictions in Genoa .
On the sidelines of the same event, the Minister of Labor Andrea Orlando also intervenes: "In the moment in which a not exactly irrelevant part and a not exactly negligible ally of Italy, such as Germany, seems to profoundly change the line on this front, I believe that it is inevitable may some reflection also be done in our country ".
Words that triggered the reaction of another part of the majority: "I am part of a thought, of a cultural current, which is not only opposed to any form of legalization of any type of narcotic substance, but I am also convinced that it does not exist. a freedom to take drugs but that state action can and should focus only on drug liberation ".
"It is very worrying that a minister of the Republic, instead of listening to the many recovery communities that heroically save thousands of children and fight addictions every day, speaks lightly about drugs", is Salvini's statement. While Giorgia Meloni, speaking of words of Orlando and Dadone, speaks of a "devastating message".
There is no way, therefore, that if the National Anti-Mafia Prosecutor Federico Cafiero De Raho recognizes: "These are orientations that are finding space at the international level, in the last meeting of the UN commission there was a strong direction towards policy changes of prohibition ".
