After the visit, Carrasco commented that the mayor has always been very responsive to our requests, so we asked him to continue as usual, trying to get our voice to other administrations.
For the new president of Assido, if it is true that society is wrong because of the cuts, these doubly affect the most disadvantaged groups.
As regards this association, Juan Carrasco noted that one of the main problems they face is that the economic agreement whereby the Autonomous Community aid destined to the full integration of children with Down syndrome in schools , has been reduced by 60 percent in the past two years.
