We all oppose the death penalty for those involved in drug trafficking. However, I imagine it might be popular not only in this city but parts of the State.

The Minister referred to the alternative crops strategy. Will we examine this problem with a new sense of urgency? As he stated, 75% of the world supply of heroin comes from the region in question. Will there be a strong voice from the EU on tackling this problem? That is the message of hope we want to send out as there is the potential for another wildfire spread of heroin addiction across the country.
