Addressed to: Javier Couso Permuy
Polio children:
Fed up of the abandonment suffered in Spain for 50 years. We ask the European Parliament to compel the country's institutions to fulfill our rights under the Geneva Convention.
After this time of being ignored, since 1955 until today, we demand to take charge of our necessary claims.
1- RECOGNITION AND RESTITUTION
We are victims of polio because Franco did not distributed the vaccine untill 1963 in Spain. While Europe had the vaccine since 1955. With eight years late, the government left 40,000 children with paralysis, and many more dead for those who now also raise our voices.
2- UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY
Today, apart from the disease, access to many activities are consuming our lives.
3-TREATMENT AND INVESTIGAVION of the PPS (Post Polio Syndrome)
Which we suffer now after the abandonment suffered.
Increased of respiratory distress.
Muscular deficiency in unaffected parts.
Degenerative osteoarthritis.
The ones that used to use sticks before, now we have to use a wheelchair.
Therefore we ask to read the June 18 Manifesto loudly, to touch consciences in the European Parliament.
We, the undersigned, support this petition.
