Supreme Court Demands Criminalization of Abandoning Disabled

The Spanish Supreme Court formally requested a legal reform from the government to criminalize the abandonment of individuals with physical disabilities requiring care. The request, outlined in a recent ruling, aims to expand the scope of the Penal Code's Article 229 to include those with physical disabilities, currently protected only for those with intellectual disabilities. This move would represent a significant shift in legal protections for vulnerable individuals within Spain.
