Tax Board for the Protection Officer and Defense of the Rights of the Elderly.
"The greatest need of special protection that has not existed." The number of people over 65 has doubled in the last thirty years in Spain, reaching the current six and a half million people are today by above that age. It also has what is called the "aging of aging," ie, have also increased significantly older than eighty years. "The biggest part of what is known as vulnerable groups with women and children," says Jorge Sena Argüelles, Fiscal Officer for the Protection and Defense of the Rights of the Elderly. The characteristics of the current population pyramid with the vulnerability of the group have led to the appearance "necessary" in this figure, says the Public Prosecutor, is linked to the adoption of the Law Unit and the problems generated in its implementation.
Jorge Sena this work simultaneously with the Attorney General of the Supreme Court Chamber, as prosecutors arise from the quest of the Attorney General of certain functions to the inability to comply with such competence. In addition to the Senior Public Prosecutor in this group are others as responsible for economic crimes, for the protection of victims or the prosecution of crime. His creation, therefore, responds to a clear social demand.
Law Unit has been "the final wake-up call" for the February 9, 2008 Jorge Sena was appointed by the Attorney General for this position. A new law that the Senior Prosecutor considered "excellent" as such, regardless of their subsequent implementation and operation. "In its explanatory memorandum set out the need to care for the elderly at the increase in life expectancy and aging of aging," he explains. But despite this "the biggest do not have a specific law apart from the Unit, so as requiring greater protection, which is necessarily provided by the prosecution," said Jorge Sena.
In Law Unit are specified the rights of the elderly, and work of this fiscal, as specified by himself, "to protect and defend both those who are well into their roles as those who are disabled, but not those who have been declared legally incapacitated and have a guardian." "For example, a person with Alzheimer's to which he is declared incompetent and a guardian is appointed. In this case, your defense is in the framework of the activities of their guardians. "
As stated in the Act Unit, protects the mentally handicapped, physical or sensory impairments. The standard lays down certain rights of these people (equality, privacy, dignity, freedom ...), therefore any more discapaz you see one of these rights violated can go to the Prosecutor established for their protection. Main
complaints
Since his appointment in 2008, complaints received by the Senior Public Prosecutor have been increasing, although there are many who dare not go to him. Much of these complaints are related to the Dependency Act. People who despite having been declared dependents receive service and are not informed of the status of your delivery. The role of Senior Attorney is thus sending a communication to the appropriate agency and request information on claiming the right of the older person to be served and informed accordingly.
"One aspect that concerns us most is that of ill-treatment to older," says Jorge Sena. In this area, affecting not hesitate to report any abuse, because "there are various types of abuse and some are very subtle." For example, those related to the lack of attention and care for the elderly in residential care on the part of officials or employees. Moreover, there are "economic abuse", and here the Senior Prosecutor has also received a significant number of complaints. It is the use of someone close to the capital of older people still have not been declared disabled. "This is the case of a lady of 94 years with the head completely lucid but is in a wheelchair and care for a family member go to the bank to conduct its operations for it. Later he realizes that their money is falling, "explains Jorge Sena.
"When a person suffers ill-treatment should see a higher tax. You have to go without fear, because if I can do something I will and if I can not, because not within my powers, inform about it. " To locate these cases and disclose reportable to higher figure and features, Jorge Sena maintains contact with non-profit entities as Afal (Association of Relatives of Alzheimer's), CEOMA (Confederation of Organizations of Greater) or UDP (Democratic Union of Pensioners and Retired Persons), making possible intermediary between the complainant and the prosecutor.
"We are particularly concerned about the issue of abuse of seniors."
" The abuse can be very subtle"

Function Coordinator:
The work of the Prosecutor for the Elderly is fundamentally "coordinator." "When the Attorney General delegates to give me competition in Spain and gives me a function of coordination, "says Jorge Sena Argüelles. "Not all activities were made by me, usually I work nearby and coordinate the cases that occur in other parts of Spain." So, if you receive complaints caused by the delay in aid payments to dependents in the community of Madrid, proposed a meeting with the Ministry responsible and sets out the allegations. At other times it may divert the case to the prosecution as appropriate. "I recently received a complaint from Valencia, a person categorized as dependent, but after thirteen months still does not know anything. In this case I sent a communication to the author of the resolution which I request you to inform the person concerned. "
In short, the Office coordinates issues of the rights of older people throughout the country, in direct relation to the chief prosecutors of the Provincial Courts and the chief prosecutors of courts of justice.
Who can complain to the higher tax?
Any person or entity that understands that they are committing offenses or crimes against older people can go to the prosecutor, the Senior Attorney will attend as well. This is a free and confidential.
