There are fundamental human rights that no one questions and that are easily identifiable. These are the ones that appear daily in the media such as the right to life, the right to security... But apart from these rights there are others that are violated every day ; Maybe even in yourself or someone close to you: the right to housing, to healthcare, to a healthy environment. Does this sound familiar to you? It has been more than 50 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved. In its preamble it proclaims a “common ideal towards which all peoples and nations must strive, so that both individuals and institutions, constantly inspired by it (the declaration), promote, through teaching and education, respect to these rights and freedoms , and ensure, through progressive measures of a national and international nature, their universal and effective recognition and application , (…).” Reading this declaration should be mandatory to know all our rights. For example, Article 25 reads: “ Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, and in particular food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services; He also has the right to insurance a campaign “Protect your rights.
Change article 53” to: highlight that the Spanish Constitution (EC) establishes an unequal and insufficient treatment and protection of some human rights , creating 'first and second' rights; propose that the Constitution be reformed so that all rights are protected equally , without classes or hierarchies, for all people and guaranteeing their financing; and also, with the expected support of the citizens, pressure the political parties to include this constitutional reform proposal in their Europe Mobile Number List electoral programs . ART REFORM. 53 The three organizations have published, with the support of constitutional experts, a summary and easy-to-read version of the report where more information can be found. Some practical examples to understand the scope of the reform Inequality in the defense of human rights has serious consequences on the population, especially the most vulnerable, who suffer from a lack of access to housing, health care or a minimum income , without being able to claim these rights before the courts. "We left with some clothes and not much else.
Most of the things were kept inside." "My house is an unattainable dream. I hurt especially for my children." This is how Maritza describes how she, her husband and her two youngest children had to leave their home. A house that they had bought and that they had to leave because when they lost their jobs they could not continue paying the mortgage. Today they live in an apartment that a neighbor offered them. They have been on the waiting list for social housing for years. They have never called her. “I have felt alone. Only my neighbor really helped us. Nobody else did.” If the Constitution regulated the minimum content of Maritza's right to housing, and Article 53 adequately protected it, Maritza could have gone to court to demand adequate alternative accommodation for herself and her family. In the case, for example, of the emission of toxic substances into the air, the reform of 53 will also allow people to directly request the courts, as a precautionary measure, for the provisional closure of a plant that emits toxic substances into the air, with the risk of exceed dangerous pollution levels. Something that, right now, only associations or entities that protect the environment can do, but not citizens.
