The announcement : “We are working on it with Salvini”.
War on drugs and dealers. This is the League's next battle, as announced in recent hours by the Minister for Family and Disabilities, Lorenzo Fontana, interviewed by Evening courier. The Northern League exponent confirmed the intent of his party and the government to implement a real crackdown on the circulation of narcotic substances: “The idea is to profoundly rethink the prevention and assistance system. But also review rules such as the 'modest quantity. On the one hand – continues the minister – it suggests that there is an admissible quantity, on the other hand it prevents drug dealers from being removed from the streets".
For Fontana “the modest quantity is a precious help for drug dealers who are unlikely to be found with higher doses. So they are arrested and in the evening they are already free".
But the Northern League's proposal risks clashing with the allies' projects 5 place. For about a month, the Five Star Movement has presented a bill to the Senate which aims to decriminalize the cultivation and recreational use of the so-called "light cannabis", an idea that neither vice prime minister Matteo Salvini likes at all, nor to Fontana himself: “I must also say that the so-called legal hemp, supported by important investments in marketing, I don't think it sends a good message.".
