Parliament approves Elderly Statute but age doesn't explain old age (nor the €800‑a‑day bill of abandonment)
This Statute is a victory because it is better than not having one: it promises protection against violence, priority in queues and the sacred right to grow old in one’s own home. But let’s be honest: it is a compilation document, not a revolutionary one. It gathers scattered rights but forgets the tools to enforce them. The text talks about the dignity of the carer, yet remains deafeningly silent on their pay, regulation and real support.
