The result of that logic is clear: neighborhoods taken over by drug traffickers, young people destroyed by addiction, and families living in fear. Meanwhile, progressive sectors justify criminals, drug trafficking advances over the most vulnerable sectors, destroying communities and claiming lives.
Reducing sentences or exempting from punishment those who traffic, even on a small scale, is not an act of social justice: it is a signal of impunity. It is rewarding crime and abandoning the real victims: young people who fall into the networks of consumption, parents who lose their children, and neighbors who live besieged by drug traffickers.
An ideological reflection
Although it may seem like a minor bill, file 3108-D-2020 reflects the underlying vision of Kirchnerism: a State that empathizes more with the criminal than with the honest citizen. It is the same logic seen with the release of prisoners during the pandemic or with the constant delegitimization of security forces.
Meanwhile, Javier Milei's government is working to restore order and the authority of the State, Kirchnerism continues to show its true face: that of extreme garantismo, moral relativism, and complicity with crime.
