Today is international Down syndrome day, a date that becomes an exhibition of hypocrisy on the part of some politicians.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1nchez says he defends the rights of people with Down syndrome ...<\/big><\/p>\n This morning, the president of the government of Spain, the socialist Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, published a message on Twitter<\/a> about this day: \"The full inclusion of people with Down Syndrome must be essential in our society.<\/strong> Our goal is to achieve effective development of all their rights and equal opportunities in our country.\"<\/em><\/p>\n ... after supporting a law that considers them unworthy of birth<\/big><\/p>\n Pedro S\u00e1nchez was one of the deputies who approved the current abortion law of 2010<\/strong>, which establishes a \"right\" to kill unborn children in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy and gives a extra period of 22 weeks to kill these children if they have a disability, including Down syndrome<\/strong>. That is to say, the same person who today claims to defend the rights of people with Down syndrome considers that these human beings are unworthy of being born due to their disability<\/strong>. As a consequence of this monstrous law, in Spain the births of babies with Down syndrome have fallen drastically<\/a>, because they are being killed in the womb.<\/p>\n Feij\u00f3o defends the 'inclusion' of people with Down syndrome ...<\/big><\/p>\n In turn, the president of the Popular Party, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o<\/strong>, has published a message on Twitter<\/a> in which he appears with a young man with Down syndrome: \"Today we celebrate #WorldDownSyndromeDay. Like \u00c1lvaro, they ask for the same opportunities as everyone and they are in their right.<\/strong>They have the support of @ppopular to advance equality, personal autonomy, training and employment.\"<\/em><\/p>\n ... but he opposed repealing the law that denies their right to be born<\/big><\/p>\n In 2011, when Feij\u00f3o was president of the Xunta de Galicia, the PP included in its program the promise to \"reinforce the protection of the right to life\"<\/em><\/a>. Once in government, when Minister Alberto Ruiz Gallard\u00f3n proposed a reform to end eugenic abortion<\/strong> (which grants those 22 weeks to kill babies with Down syndrome), Feij\u00f3o opposed it<\/a>. Finally, the PP left that law intact thanks to pressure from senior officials like Feij\u00f3o. In February 2023, the current president of the PP boasted that the PP did not repeal that law<\/a>. Thus, with his actions Feij\u00f3o has shown that in this matter he shares S\u00e1nchez's inhuman approaches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The hypocrisy of the PSOE and the PP with Down syndrome<\/big><\/p>\n I am a family member of a person with Down syndrome and I am tired of so much hypocrisy every time March 21st arrives. You cannot talk about \"inclusion\" of people with Down syndrome while they are excluded from the right to be born.<\/strong> In Spain these people do not have equal rights, because there is a law that considers them less worthy of being born due to his disability. An inhuman law promoted by the PSOE and maintained by the PP, which has refused to repeal it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thus, their messages talking about inclusion, equality and rights for these people only serve to demonstrate one thing: S\u00e1nchez and Feij\u00f3o are cynics who say one thing and do the opposite<\/strong> on an issue as important as respect for people who have this disability.<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Photo: Efe.
