During the carnival weekend, 9 people were ‘caught’ in East Gelre using drugs in public. The drug found is probably 4MMC, colloquially also called Meow Meow.
“Unfortunately, this audit shows that the use of drugs is socially accepted. By conducting an inspection like this, we as a government show that we do not tolerate drug use and we remove drug use from anonymity,” said Mayor Bronsvoort of the municipality of Oost Gelre. The 9 people have received a fine based on Article 2:74A, drug use from the General Local Ordinance. This article, among other things, prohibits drug use in public places. The amount of the fine is around 400 euros.
At the end of 2022, the Oost Gelre municipal council unanimously passed the motion ‘Drugs out!’ accepted. The motion calls for a tough approach to drug use, including at parties and events. With this, the city council wants to remove drug use from the taboo atmosphere. Actions against drug use are being organized based on this motion, the Alcohol and Drugs prevention and enforcement policy and signals from society.
