The government delegate in Galicia, Pedro Blanco, held a working meeting with the secretary of FADEMGA Full inclusion Galicia, Miguel López, with whom he reviewed the advances in rights for people with disabilities during the government of Pedro Sánchez.

In this regard, the delegate highlighted the recent modification of article 49 of the Spanish Constitution, which extends the rights of people with disabilities and eliminates from the text the expression "physically, sensory and psychic diminished".

On this modification, the third since the entry into force of the Constitution and the first of social content, Blanco pointed out that "it pays a moral debt to people with disabilities", while at the same time showing that "the transcendent of politics is the effect it has on people's lives."
