Legislative proposals for chemical castration in Eastern EU
Overview
In Romania, lawyer Vlad Baculescu has proposed the introduction of chemical castration for individuals who commit sexual offenses against children under the age of 14. Baculescu argues that the gravity of these crimes and the high risk of recidivism necessitate medical treatment to reduce sexual hormone levels, suggesting that standard imprisonment is insufficient for rehabilitation.
Similarly, in Hungary, Előd Novák of the Mi Hazánk party has submitted a legislative proposal to the Hungarian Parliament to introduce chemical castration for pedophilic offenders. The initiative seeks to use antiandrogen drugs to reduce sexual drive, following a model used in Poland. The proposal notes that while such sanctions exist in 38 countries, the Hungarian government previously rejected similar measures in 2013 due to concerns regarding human dignity and the prohibition of inhumane treatment.
