As if it were a race against time, social entities set themselves the goal that the Three families evicted in Badalona Three mothers and four children, living in a dilapidated building, were left without a place to stay after the Santa Coloma de Gramanet City Council stopped paying for their Christmas accommodation on Tuesday. The group left the hostel at 11 a.m. on Tuesday with the few belongings they had managed to salvage from their home the day they were evicted from the building on Calderón de la Barca Street in the La Salut neighborhood. At that time, the three women and their children had been told by the municipal government that they could no longer stay at the hostel because the emergency aid was only for three weeks, after which the council would not cover any further expenses.

In this context of political and social liberation, one of the quietest revolutions was that of those families who had a child with a mental disability. Subnormal, retarded, handicapped, disabled, incapacitated, and handicapped. These were times when there were no euphemisms to describe a family burden, not only physical but also emotional. These were times when all those with a mental disability were hidden in their homes, away from the prying eyes and prejudices of a still very immature society.

The PSC, Comuns, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, and the CUP signed an agreement this Wednesday in which they commit to guaranteeing universal registration in compliance with the law.
