IU-Green presents its proposals on accessibility at the door of an inaccessible City Hall (03/05/2019)

Jaime García, candidate of IU in the municipal list, denounces that the public works of the earthquake have not been taken advantage of effectively to eliminate barriers and affirms that to be chosen that will be his political priority

Flanked by the councilors and first candidates of IU-Greens, Pedro Sosa and Gloria Marín, the also member of the list of the coalition in the position number 5, Jaime García, has presented this morning the programmatic priorities of IU-V in matter of accessibility.

And it has done it in the main door of the City council of Lorca, emphasizing that an institution that represents the totality of the citizens is making impossible its access to a very considerable percentage of the population.

Jaime García has denounced that the consistorial building is inaccessible in its main entrance and that the existing ramp in its rear entrance is not practicable for a wheelchair because of the slope it presents, without the help of another person.

Jaime García, Engineer, high school teacher, sportsman and monologist, has started his exhibition claiming that the group he belongs to is "people with different abilities" and rejecting inappropriate use of other terms such as: diminished (which by the way is the term that continues using the Spanish Constitution in its article 49) disabled or handicapped.

This group, has pointed the candidate of IU-V, composed in Lorca 9,348 people, 10% of the local population that has different physical, mental or sensorial and on which it is necessary to raise from the City effective public policies that guarantee Your rights.

Jaime García believes that the public works developed in recent years in Lorca as a result of the 2011 earthquake has not been particularly sensitive to their collective and that this investment in streets, squares and public buildings has not been used to opportunely redesign the city and make it more accessible.

There are three aspects on which UI proposals have focused: 1) accessibility that includes effective ramps and sound signals in all corners of the municipality, 2) the normalization and guarantee of public services for people with reduced mobility, such as car parks and toilets of public establishments, on which it has pointed out besides the necessary social awareness about its use and its insufficiency in the city of Lorca, giving as an example how reserved car parks have disappeared in the surroundings of the Guerra Theater or as public toilets of many establishments are used on many occasions as warehouses or lockable storage rooms, and 3) accessible sport, which has aimed its commitment to ensure that Lorca all sports have a category for people with functional diversity.
