At least 28 people died in Saxony last year after taking drugs. In addition, three cases of people who had already died in the previous year were subsequently reported to the authorities, according to a minor question by Left Party politician Juliane Nagel in the state parliament. Between 2019 and 2023, the number of deaths was between 20 and 24.
Nagel expressed her concern. "The state government must do more to promote prevention and appropriate treatment options. This must also be reflected in the funding of counseling and treatment services in the 2025/26 double budget," explained Juliane Nagel, member of the state parliament.
