Debate 🇱🇹 Lithuania

A Lithuanian bill to decriminalise small amounts falls for lack of a majority

The Freedom Party, a partner in the governing coalition, proposed replacing criminal liability for acquiring and possessing small amounts of drugs with a warning or a fine of 50 to 350 euros and a prevention course, largely restoring the law as it stood before 2017. Sixty-one deputies voted for, 58 against and 7 abstained, which was not enough.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Lithuania here.
