In Inglés: Council of Europe slams Spain for denying healthcare to illegal immigrants

The economic turmoil has caused a huge decline in social rights guaranteed believed . The Council of Europe has encountered significant setbacks since the start of the crisis , particularly in Spain . This agency is responsible for ensuring human rights in 47 African countries, judged illegal the decision to exclude undocumented aliens from the Spanish health . "The crisis can not serve as a pretext to deny access to health care ," concludes a report released yesterday on social rights .
The text branded as regressive decree approved by the Spanish government in August 2012 that closed the doors of health irregular migrants except for children, pregnant and emergencies . Luis Jimena , President of the European Committee of Social Rights , is clear that this assessment considers the Spanish law contrary to European law : "You can not exclude immigrants system . Both the Government and communities have a duty to enforce the doctrine of the Council of Europe. And the Constitutional Court shall take into consideration for determination [ to rule on the appeal against the decision of the government] , "he says .
Spain is one of the 43 European countries that have signed the European Social Charter , which includes the right to health and the committee to interpret extends to all citizens , irrespective of their legal status. The Spanish government believes that by giving access to emergency , the right is safeguarded . Verbeeren Pierre , CEO of Doctors of the World in Belgium denies . " Emergencies are not sufficient to guarantee the right also because each country has a different view on what is an emergency ," he argues .

This expert laments the decline that has occurred in Spain , placing it alongside countries like UK, Germany and Greece , too restrictive with health benefits to illegal aliens. Verbeeren denies that these movements obey only economic needs also because the cost of treatment in the emergency ends up being higher than primary care. " Germany is not affected by the crisis and so has . Sometimes the crisis is used as a pretext " closed.
The Council of Europe quotes other countries that violate health obligation in regard to foreigners. They are Austria , Belgium , Bulgaria , Czech Republic, Denmark , Finland, France, Lithuania , Latvia and Macedonia. The long list shows that the United risk being legislate narrowly despite knowing that their decisions contravene the European acquis . The reason is that the Committee of Social Rights lacks mechanisms to criminalize these behaviors. The way to enforce these rights is slow and laborious , often over presenting the case to the European Court of Human Rights, the judicial arm of the European institution. So it was with Doctors of the World , which won the French State a case like this.
Technically, the Council of Europe could not default tick the Spanish decree that was adopted in 2012, out of the period ( between 2008 and 2011). However, he warns that the law persist , be considered a violation of social rights in Europe.
Apart from health to foreigners, the Strasbourg -based body criticizes Spain other social needs . Among them , the low level of insertion income to poor people , which is just over 400 euros per month is offered . Only the Basque Country and Navarre have acceptable performance. Neither reaches the minimum economic coverage sick , considered "manifestly inadequate" .
Beyond Spain , the continent's overall assessment notes a level much higher than in other years breaches. " The numbers have gone down. For us, it is a source of great concern. Social rights must be protected , "says Colm O'Cinneide , responsible for the report of 2013 .
A Health Ministry spokesman said that, indeed , the Council of Europe " refers more to time until a foreigner is regularized ," says Emilio de Benito . Moreover , he insists that " the coverage they have immigrants in Spain is the largest in Europe, including emergencies, all care for children , and pregnancy care ." Other than that, " the public health issues are covered [ communicable diseases ] , such as tuberculosis, and all are guaranteed by the communities attention from other processes within its competence ." Health Therefore , as it has done since more than a year and a half slashed attention to foreigners without papers , insists that "a thing is not having health insurance card , and one that is not serving you."
