The Spanish Paralympic Committee also asks political groups to support the reform of art. 49 of the Constitution

It is planned to eliminate the term “disabled” and replace it with “people with disabilities”

MADRID, 11 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish Paralympic Committee (CPE) joined this Thursday the request made by the Spanish Committee of Representatives of People with Disabilities (CERMI) for all political groups in the Congress of Deputies to unanimously support the reform of article 49 of the Constitution, which plans to eliminate the term “disabled” and replace it with “people with disabilities”.

“CERMI has written to the spokespersons of the parliamentary groups of Congress to request the support of all parties for the proposed reform of article 49 of the Constitution, 'without any fissures', so that this first social modification of the Magna Carta is adopted 'as would be desirable unanimously,'” the CPE indicated in a press release.

“Given the setting of the Plenary Sessions of Congress to address the debate and vote on this proposal on January 16 and 18, CERMI makes the parliamentary spokespersons see that the reform of article 49 means “not only banishing it from the constitutional text a hurtful terminology that disregarded and offended people with disabilities” – 10% of the population – but “anchors in our fundamental Standard the human rights approach, the only one admissible to address the reality of this part of the citizenry.” “added the note.

In this context, the CPE pointed out that “the first social reform of the Constitution responds to a firm and sustained demand from the civic disability movement, almost twenty years old, which has a very broad social consensus, which is now finally on the verge of to move to the political and regulatory level”.

Citing CERMI, the CPE believes that “it is the time for people with disabilities”, so this reform should focus “solely and exclusively” on this issue, being in its opinion “of enormous importance in itself, that the sector disability is understood as a country's progress, a collective improvement that deepens and broadens the character of advanced democracy that the Constitution wants for Spain”.
