This May 1st, From the union section of CGT to the Municipal Institute of Services for Disability (IMSD) Mollet del Vallès, Let's go out again to make visible what for too long you wanted to hide or ignore: The institutional abandonment of public services for people with disabilities.
IMSD, which has four care centers (Occupational center, Special Work Center, Occupational Therapy Service and Independent Life Service), suffers for years an alarming lack of maintenance of its infrastructure. Some facilities are in poor and out of regulations, by risk safety, the dignity and well -being of both the users and the working staff.
Buildings degrade, Investments do not arrive and the administration looks to another side. This deterioration is not accidental or inevitable. Is the result of political decisions and the lack of willingness to secure a quality public service.
But not only the walls fall. Also the meaning of the project falls. In the special work workshop (The Alborada CET), The lack of active search for collaborating companies that order operators has left many employees without work. These disabled operators, hired to work with dignity, are found now without employment, without course and with an obvious loss of motivation.
And that also has a direct impact on the occupational center, where many users cannot develop one of the fundamental areas of their itinerary: Therapeutic occupation. This lack of labor tasks and stimuli destroys the pedagogical sense and rehabilitation of their stay in the center.
We ask for investments, Dignity maintenance and actual labor planning. We demand responsibility from the City of Mollet and the direction of the IMSD. We cannot talk about inclusion, D’Autonomy, nor of rights, When public services that should be guaranteed are abandoned and precarious.
Is not a technical problem. Is a matter of political will.
No closure of public groups and end the overcrowding in high school, This May 1st, We demand:
– Immediate rehabilitation and continuous maintenance of the four IMSD centers.
– Active search for business orders and alliances to reactivate productive activity at CET Alborada.
– The guarantee of therapeutic employment activities at the Occupational Center for all users.
– Respect, Investment and dignity for people with disabilities and for the accompanying staff.
Because inclusion is not done with speeches. Is done with resources.
