7 out of 10 Danes supports establishing of safer injecting sites.

Both red and blue voters clearly favored injection rooms for drug addicts, and now pushing the opposition back in to get the system up. Is it for the Danes, the drug could lawfully take drugs in a clean environment where healthcare professionals ready to assist.

More than seven out of ten Danes believe that the injection room to be introduced, according to a Gallup poll conducted for the newspaper Berlingske Tidende.

The strong backing for injection rooms arouse joy with the Socialists. As part of a bigger political impulse, which is expected to be published this autumn, down the lot pressure on the government to introduce the spaces.

“We may not be familiar to let addicts die of overdoses and drug abuse, when we know from overseas that injection rooms save lives,” said Social Democrat health spokesman Sophie Hæstorp Andersen.

As late as April voted V, K and DF a similar proposal down by just five votes majority. According to the Folketing website also voted Liberal Alliance against the publisher, but the fact is that they voted yes and then go into the injection rooms for drug addicts.

In 2008, 239 Danish drug addicts died due to overdoses, and the following year showed an EU statement that Denmark has some of the highest mortality in Europe in this area - surpassed only by Luxembourg and Estonia. Extensive studies from countries that have already introduced the system, concludes unambiguously that injection rooms reduces the death rate for addicts and saves society the high cost of HIV and hepatitis treatment.

VKOs voters backing

The Danish support for the injection rooms are strongest in the opposition’s support base, but more remarkable is that between 60 and 65 percent of the government and the Danish People’s Party voters also favor injection rooms. For several years, the three parties otherwise struggled against injection rooms in Denmark.

Danish People are still opposes:

“It is not appropriate and it does not belong in our society that we must provide guidance in how to harm themselves with illegal drugs,” says the party’s health spokesman Liselott Blixt.

Experience from abroad shows clearly that injection rooms reduces deaths among drug addicts sharply. Germany, Norway, Holland and Switzerland have hardly broken the law by introducing them?

“No, that’s their choice. We have parliamentary group discussed injection rooms, and we have reached that it is not the way we must solve our drug problems. ”

“We need to think well of us’

Nor does the Interior and Health Minister Bertel hair who intends to listen to voters and change the government’s drug policy:

“When it comes to fix rates, we think ourselves very well on. For it raises a number of dilemmas, if we open a place where addicts can legitimately make drugs purchased illegally from their pusher on the street. How should the police for example conceivable to those drug users who are going to fix the space with their illegal drugs? Should substances be legal in a diameter of 100 meters from fixe space? “Writes the minister in an email to Berlingske Tidende.

He refers instead to the imposition of prescribed heroin to selected users in Copenhagen, Odense and Esbjerg and the economic support for a sundhedsrum in Vesterbro.

In SF denotes health rapporteur Jonas Dahl government and DFS argument as “parochial.”

“We’re not trying to legalize the sale that drug. This is about getting users in case of eye level and to ensure they have proper syringes and thus avoid illness and overdoses, “he says.

Furthermore, an injection rooms lead the residents - especially in Vesterbro - will be less bothered by drug addicts who openly fixer on streets and alleys, says Jonas Dahl.
