A very large group already surpasses the number of eight million, over 65, and thanks to the improved quality of life, the pyramid of life is increasing year by year.
way of information, I want to give a figure for history, and we have the English Major for the first time, a special prosecutor at the request of the Elderly and Pensioners Association Pablo Iglesias Minister Mariano Fernandez Bermejo on June 20, 2007.
According to Don Jorge Sena Argüelles:
"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 above this 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, along with women and children", The characteristics of the current population pyramid with the vulnerability of group have led to the appearance "necessary" in this figure is linked to the adoption of the Law Unit and the problems in its implementation.
Dependency Act is a law that the new 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 Public Prosecutor," The Law of the unit are specified rights of the elderly, and work of this fiscal, as it specifies same, "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 (a equality, privacy, dignity, freedom ...), so any more discapaz you see one of these rights violated can go to the Prosecutor established for their protection.
"We are particularly concerned about the issue of abuse of seniors."
"The abuse can be very subtle"
Who can complain to the higher tax? Any person or entity
