Romanian presidential coalition candidate Crin Antonescu has sparked controversy with a statement suggesting shooting drug dealers. After negative reactions, he clarified that it was an "unfortunate expression", saying he would not reintroduce the death penalty. Antonescu underlined the importance of increasing the capacity to fight drug trafficking and proposed reorganizing the National Anti-Drug Agency on the American model, with harsher punishments for big drug traffickers.
