Discussion about Frankfurt's new drug policy By: Steven Micksch Print The police form an important building block in the new concept.© Boris Roessler/dpa Not all members of the health committee have yet been convinced of the "Frankfurter Weg 2.0" concept.The planned addiction aid center continues to cause displeasure. In a short film, retired chief prosecutor Harald Körner and researcher Hans-Volker Happel talk about the Frankfurter Weg.Over that time at the end of the 80s and early 1990s, in which the Frankfurt drug policy was significantly redesigned and all institutions involved, from politics to the police to unite to unite.A clever move by social and health director Elke Voitl (Greens) to show the film on Thursday evening in the health committee in order to remind all parties that the successful Frankfurter Weg could only be implemented together.The head of the department now wishes for her "Frankfurter Weg 2.0". Crack and fentanyl in view Very few city councilors were able to read the concept on Thursday.Only a few hours earlier the city had released it in a press release.Voitl promised that the new concept not only gave answers to high crack use, but also to the increasing spread of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. She emphasized that you would also have a look at the environment of the planned addiction aid center and the concept have a focus on "bridges from the station district", ie paths in scene.The return to other municipalities is also organized if the supply offer there is adequate. Additional help required throughout Hesse Yanki Pürsün (FDP) criticized that the concept had only been published shortly before the committee.In addition, he would have liked a concept before a decision on the addiction aid center.He emphasized that there must be a nationwide addiction aid in Hesse and also sees the state of Hesse as a duty so that the municipalities acted. The CDU in the person of Sabine Fischer said that there were different ways to deal with the problems in the Bahnhofsviertel.The CDU is still against the planned center, she emphasized. Do not deport people into nothing Dominike Pauli replied from the left: "Nobody denies that the CDU is unteachable in some areas in some areas."She was happy that people from other municipalities were not deported to nothing, but only if the care in the home municipality was given. Emre Telyakar from the Greens appealed to the city council to find at least one consensus on the content of the center.Even if there is discrepancies when it comes to the question of whether non-Frankfurters should also be accepted, the idea and work of the center can still be found. Social Democrat Stella Schulz-Nurtsch said: "It hurts that such a topic has been argued."It is about people who need help you talk about.Voitl emphasized that they had a network with other Hessian municipalities who wanted to come to Frankfurt to look at the local help facilities.
