<\/strong>They are murderers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>And let us also pray for these criminals who sell and give drugs to young people. They are criminals. They are murderers. Let us pray for their conversion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>A reduction in drug dependence is not obtained by liberalizing consumption. This is a fantasy.
Having known many tragic stories of drug addicts and their families, I am convinced that it is a moral duty to put an end to the production and trafficking of these dangerous substances.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
