Spaniards with diabetes cannot be police, firefighters, civil guard and even security guards.This is indicated, for example, a standard issued in the 80s, which establishes the medical exclusions table for admission to the National Police Corps.It is, specifically, the order of January 11, 1988.
"The big problem we have is that we continue with tremendously ancient legislation. However, medical, scientific and technological advances have advanced much faster than in legislation," laments the president of the Federation of Spanish Diabetics (Fede), Andoni LorenzoGarmendiaThat is, today a person with diabetes "can make a completely normal life", but not access certain jobs.
The situation is different when a person develops the disease once he already occupies the workplace of the workplace in question.In these cases, a certain paradox is created and Andoni Lorenzo then wonders "whether or not they can" be police.If in these circumstances there have been cases in which the diabetic police officer are maintained in an office job, from Fede they do not understand why they are not allowed to oppose similar positions.
The claims of patients in this regard are not new.In fact, on several occasions there have been cases of people with diabetes who have denounced feeling discriminated from a labor point of view for this reason.In fact, almost ten years ago he took to
Congress of Deputies A non -law proposition in which the Government was invited to change the regulations so as not to harm the diabetics.Moreover, all parliamentary groups supported him, however the Executive did not modify it.
The case of Navarra
Recently, the Parliament of this Autonomous Community has rejected a motion to "eliminate discrimination" of diabetics in access to public employment.It was an initiative that only supported the PSN and the I-E.Given this, the president of Fede explains to Consalud.es that "a politician will not breach the law. That is his argument and before this, patients protest."In fact, he affirms that from the Spanish Diabetics Federation they are going to move, we are going to do something. "
In this way, they have announced that they will take the necessary legal measures to "avoid discrimination of the diabetic collective at work level" in the regional community.Given this problem, Lorenzo Garmendia recalls that in Spain there are more and more cases of diabetes, "almost six million Spaniards and it cannot be that a part of the population, which represents 15%, because it can suffer labor discrimination. It is inadmissible"
