He defends deputy arrested for possessing young marijuana plants

(Victoria Donda Matias Faray in the last GMM)

"We reject a new wrongful imprisonment," said Victoria Donda upon learning of the arrest of a young man who had twelve marijuana plants for personal consumption.
The president of the Commission on Human Rights and Guarantees of the Chamber of Deputies, Victoria Donda, referred to the prosecution and detention dictates the young Pablo Alberto Aguirre and said "we condemn this regrettable fact. While the drug dealers do their business freely with the permission of the police, users are prosecuted and punished for growing and using marijuana and not get into the drug ring to get it. "

According to relatives of Donda, Aguirre, 32, who lives in San Isidro Del Viso and works continuously for 10 years in the Ministry of Education, was sentenced to 4 years in prison for possessing 12 marijuana plants for personal consumption, books cultivation and magazines.

Donda Congresswoman introduced a bill that aims to place the focus of justice in the prosecution of drug trafficking and not in the possession of users. The initiative amends Law 23,737, with the aim of adapting the existing legislation with the dictates of our Constitution (Article 19) and the international treaties of equal status, taking into account, in turn, the ruling of 2009 that gave the Supreme Court's Office in the case, "Arriola."

In this regard, the Free South lawmaker said, "Our intention with this project is to try to take one more step in a vital issue for our society. We believe that the initiative serves as a trigger to generate a debate that once we remove this degree of paralysis in terms of current legislation and follow an evolutionary path similar to what is already traveling to Argentina society issues such as marriage between same sex or the debate on abortion "
