The Hungarian Parliament is discussing a new strategy to completely eradicate drugs by 2020 in the country. The plan focuses on prevention in families and churches, involving 50% of students in prevention programmes, and also calls for more effective criminal action against dealers and drug users. The proposal follows the introduction of harsher penalties for drug dealers and users in July 2013. Statistics show that drug use amongst Hungarian youth has been on the rise and that the age of initiation has also dropped in recent years, according to Hungary's Ombudsman Mate Szabo. The strategy is expected to be approved by parliament this week. Central Europe has seen very different approaches to addressing drug problems with, for instance, all narcotic substances being illegal in Poland and the Czech Republic having the most liberal laws on soft drugs in the region.
