"Cuatro horas al día de independencia es vivir en un presidio"
25.06.2010 María Luisa Ruiz Jarabo, presidenta de Solcom
ROCÍO LIZCANO SANTIAGO
A finales de 2009, con la determinante participación del movimiento asociativo gallego, se constituyó Solcom, la primera entidad orientada a la defensa de los derechos de la diversidad funcional (discapacidad) en el terreno judicial. Bajo los principios del Foro de Vida Independiente, que reivindica el derecho de las personas en situación de discapacidad a autodeterminarse y participar de forma plena de su ciudadanía, Solcom ha dado el salto a los tribunales, con el objetivo de allanar el camino de la justicia a quienes, por falta de medios o información, sufren la vulneración de derechos reconocidos en la legislación. La asociación, que rechaza subvenciones públicas y se nutre de la colaboración voluntaria de juristas de toda España, ha recurrido el decreto gallego que regula la asistencia personal (entre otras prestaciones reconocidas en la Ley de Promoción de la Autonomía Personal) y la norma estatal que fija las cuantías máximas para cubrir los servicios reconocidos a las personas en situación de dependencia. La asociación gallega de usuarios de asistencia personal (Vigalicia) y Solcom celebraron ayer en Santiago la jornada Diversidad Funcional e Dereitos, con la colaboración de Caixanova, Ayuntamiento de Santiago y Fundación Granell. María Luisa Ruiz, presidenta de Solcom, estuvo allí.
El recurso contra la norma gallega sostiene que se priorizan los centros residenciales frente a la asistencia personal en el propio entorno ¿Cómo se concreta esa diferente asignación de recursos?
Lo natural es que las personas, independientemente de sus características funcionales, de su sexualidad o de su origen étnico, vivan incluidas en la sociedad, que es lo que dispone la Convención de la ONU (de derechos de las personas con discapacidad). La asignación presupuestaria debería favorecer la autonomía personal, priorizando los recursos que apoyan la vida independiente sobre aquellos que segregan y excluyen. En la lógica de derechos humanos, no es admisible dedicar una cantidad de dinero para que una persona tenga asistencia personal y el doble para que esa persona viva segregada en una residencia.
Se estima en 3.000 euros al mes el coste de una plaza de residencia para una persona en situación de discapacidad ¿Cuántas horas de asistencia personal puede cubrir esa misma cantidad?
Mediante pago directo y autogestionando la asistencia personal, una persona podría vivir independiente en su lugar habitual, evitar costes de oportunidad y tener una familia independiente, generar empleo en su entorno, acceder a estudios, empleo y ocio, ser considerado un ciudadano como cualquier otro y mejorar su calidad de vida.
En el mismo recurso se denuncia que la asistencia personal se desincentiva al aplicar un mayor nivel de copago que a los centros de día o residencias. ¿Son más rentables para la Administración estas fórmulas?
Las prestaciones se generan con nuestros impuestos y el copago es una fórmula de reiteración del pago (repago) aplicada a algo que ya se ha sufragado previamente. Además, penalizar con repago a quienes, aun en situación de dependencia, se esfuerzan en trabajar y desarrollar alguna actividad económica envía un mensaje que desincentiva la autonomía y favorece la dependencia. Es probable que las administraciones no hayan comprendido que ni el Estado ni nadie debe dictar las vidas de las personas con diversidad funcional.
En cuanto al decreto estatal, Solcom cuestiona las cuantías máximas previstas para dar cobertura a las prestaciones reconocidas en la ley de atención a la dependencia, 836 euros para el grado III y nivel 2, el más alto. ¿Cuántas horas de un asistente personal cubren?
Menos de cuatro horas diarias de asistencia personal, teniendo en cuenta que hay que hacer frente a las obligaciones sociales. Cualquier persona que haga el ejercicio de imaginarse a sí misma disponiendo únicamente de cuatro horas al día de independencia, quizá tendría la impresión de estar viviendo en un presidio.
¿Fue consciente España de lo que implicaba ratificar la Convención de la ONU e incorporarla a su reglamento interno?
El Gobierno no tuvo en cuenta lo que supondría ratificar la Convención, ya que esta es incompatible con más de 120 normas y leyes vigentes en España, que tendrán que ser modificadas. Además, el cambio de paradigma que implica la Convención supone replantear una distribución de los presupuestos que vaya laminando la segregación y la dependencia, favoreciendo la inclusión desde la escuela hasta más allá de la jubilación.
¿Hay más recursos en marcha?
Está en estudio otro contra la ley de interrupción del embarazo por discriminar a los no nacidos por su diversidad funcional. Es preciso reclamar la igualdad de derechos desde antes de nacer, si no estaremos aceptando una cultura de discriminación.
Solcom también apoya reclamaciones a nivel particular. ¿Cuáles son los incumplimientos más comunes?
Los más comunes y despiadados afectan a la educación de los niños con diversidad funcional, que sufren continuamente la segregación por parte de las administraciones, que están empeñadas en escolarizarles en centros que les apartan de sus compañeros y vecinos, invisibilizándolos y devaluándolos como personas desde la infancia.

Judith E Heumann joins the US State Department, by Adolf Ratzka
Judith Heumann, an international leader in the Independent Living and disability rights movement has joined the US Department of State (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) as their Special Advisor for International Disability Rights. This position was announced last summer, when President Obama and Minister of Foreign Affairs Clinton declared that the United States would sign the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Heumann resigned her position as Director of the Department on Disability Services for the District of Columbia which she has had since 2006.
Previously, Heumann was the Advisor on Disability and Development for the World Bank from 2002 - 2006 and served as President Clinton's Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services from 1993 -2001. She was a cofounder of the World Institute on Disability in Oakland, California, and served there from 1982 -1993. She was also a cofounder of the Berkeley Center for Independent Living, serving as their Deputy Director from 1975 - 1981. She started her career as disability advocate in the early 1970s when after earning a teaching credential she was refused employment as a teacher, took her case to court, won and started the organization Disabled in Action in New York City.
Judy Heumann has been at the forefront of the Independent Living Movement since its beginnings both nationally in the US and internationally. Her personal career reflects the growing importance of our movement in the US and worldwide with an increasing number of former activists moving into positions of policy and executive power.
Judy has had a hand in ENIL's origins when at a national German conference in 1987 in Cologne a group consisting of Judy, Horst Frehe, Lothar Sandfort and myself discussed the possibility of organizing a European conference on personal assistance in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. Lothar who at that time was the Green Party's national coordinator for disability issues managed to raise funds from the European Greens in the EU Parliament and organized the April 1989 meeting which lead to the founding of ENIL. Over 80 persons from all over Europe and Judy Heumann attended.
Judy has travelled widely lecturing and networking tirelessly. Her many personal friends in Europe and all over the world can testify to her ability to establish warm and personal relationships with people she meets whether they are newcomers at the grass-roots level or high government officials. Her new position will allow her to influence US and international development programs. With her genuine warmth, impressive knowledge and experience as well as through her personal example Judy who uses personal assistance and an electric wheelchair will now have an even wider base to promote the rights of persons with disabilities.
Presentación de SOLCOM
Nace la primera organización española que ofrece asesoramiento y defensa legal a personas víctimas de discriminación por causas de diversidad funcional (discapacidad)
Tras la denominación de asociación SOLCOM, para la solidaridad comunitaria de las personas con diversidad funcional (discapacidad), se encuentra un ente pionero en toda Europa, una organización en la que se agrupan juristas y personas con diversidad funcional para ofrecer asesoramiento legal y defensa a personas sin recursos que se enfrenten a casos de discriminación por discapacidad.
SOLCOM, nació a finales de 2009, y hasta la fecha cuenta ya con la colaboración de media docena de bufetes de abogados de toda España, así como de especialistas y académicos que asesoran legalmente a las víctimas de casos de discriminación, o si fuese necesario proporcionan defensa legal ante los tribunales.
A pesar de existir una amplia legislación nacional e internacional que vela por los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, en la mayor parte de los casos esta normativa no se aplica correctamente o se incumple, lo que relega a este colectivo a una situación de desamparo y frustración ante la violación de sus derechos.
Por otra parte, un alto porcentaje de las víctimas de discriminación por discapacidad presentan un perfil económico bajo que no les permite hacer frente a los costes derivados de emprender una lucha legal ante la violación de sus derechos.
Jornada “Diversidad funcional y derechos”
La presentación oficial de SOLCOM tuvo lugar esta mañana en Santiago de Compostela, de manos de su presidenta, María Luisa Ruíz Jarabo, durante la I Jornada sobre Diversidad Funcional y derechos, promovida por la organización gallega de personas usuarias de VIgalicia.
Por el momento, SOLCOM ya ha recurrido el decreto gallego que regula la asistencia personal y la normativa estatal que establece las cuantías máximas para cubrir los servicios previstos en la Ley de Dependencia.

How Old Can a ‘Young Writer’ Be?
By SAM TANENHAUS
The June 14 issue of The New Yorker, perhaps the premier showcase for American fiction, features a list of “20 Under 40” — that is, 20 accomplished writers under the age of 40. Many of the names are familiar: Joshua Ferris, Jonathan Safran Foer, Nell Freudenberger, Rivka Galchen, Nicole Krauss, Gary Shteyngart, ZZ Packer, Wells Tower.
The purpose of the exercise, the editors explain, is “to offer a focused look at the talent sprouting and blooming around us,” in particular the talent of these “young fiction writers who we believe are, or will be, key to their generation, . . . the ones our grandchildren and their grandchildren will read.”
It is hard to quarrel with this hopeful forecast, particularly at a moment when it’s not certain anyone’s grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren will be reading fiction at all. But the emphasis on futurity misses an essential truth about fiction writers: They often compose their best and most lasting work when they are young. “There’s something very misleading about the literary culture that looks at writers in their 30s and calls them ‘budding’ or ‘promising,’ when in fact they’re peaking,” Kazuo Ishiguro told an interviewer last year. Ishiguro (54 when he said this) added that since the age of 30 he had been haunted by the realization that most of the great novels had been written by authors under 40.
At the time, this anxiety struck some as comical, but history bears Ishiguro out. Even great novelists who endure in the collective memory as Prosperos, long seasoned in their “secret studies,” often performed their greatest magic when they were young. Flaubert was 29 when he began writing “Madame Bovary” (and was 34 when it was completed). Thomas Mann was 24 when he completed his first masterpiece, “Buddenbrooks.” Tolstoy, after a period of dissolution followed by military service, began writing “War and Peace” at age 34. Joyce, who wrote “Ulysses” in his 30s, already had two major works behind him. The late-blooming Proust, his youth idled in Paris salons, was only 37 when he began writing “Remembrance of Things Past.” Even Kafka, the 20th century’s most haunting exemplar of anguished paralysis, was 29 when he wrote “The Metamorphosis” and 31 when he began “The Trial.”
Unsurprisingly, in youth-obsessed America, writers have often done their best work early. Melville was 32 when “Moby-Dick” was published (after the successes of “Typee” and “Omoo”). The writers of the lost generation found their voices when they were very young: Fitzgerald (28, “The Great Gatsby”), Hemingway (27, “The Sun Also Rises”). Faulkner lagged slightly behind. He had just turned 32 when “The Sound and the Fury” was published. Then again, it was his fourth novel.
The celebrated post-World War II generation was just as precocious. Norman Mailer was only 25 when “The Naked and the Dead,” his classic, and enormous, war novel came out. And James Jones’s even longer work, “From Here to Eternity,” was published when he was 29. The indefatigable warhorses who grew up in the 1950s were also good very young: Joyce Carol Oates (31, “Them,” her fifth novel); Philip Roth (26, “Goodbye Columbus”); John Updike (28, “Rabbit, Run”); Thomas Pynchon (26, “V.”).
This isn’t to say there are no late-blooming giants of fiction. Joseph Conrad didn’t become a major writer until his 40s (after long years at sea). Katherine Anne Porter was 40 when her first short-story collection was published. Virginia Woolf entered her prime in her 40s. Norman Rush’s first novel wasn’t published until he was in his 50s. Nor is it to say that brilliant young novelists don’t mature into greater ones. Henry James peaked at about 60. Roth reached an extraordinary phase in his 60s. The Bellow of “Herzog” (49) is a greater artist than the Bellow of “The Adventures of Augie March” (38), which itself introduced a wholly new aesthetic to the English-language novel. And the Don DeLillo of “Underworld” (60) far surpasses the DeLillo of “End Zone” (35).
IT may well be that the writers singled out by The New Yorker have already written lasting works. But it is a mistake to assume that because they are young — at least according to our culture’s ever expanding notion of youth, when 40, or even 50, is “the new 30” — they must be poised midway up Parnassus, with higher achievements to come. The trouble, perhaps, is that this definition of “young writer,” which owes less to literary considerations than to the intersecting categories of sociology and marketing, muddies our understanding of how truly original, enduring fiction comes to be written. Worse, it threatens to infantilize our writers, reducing them to the condition of permanent apprentices who grind steadily toward “maturity” as they prepare to write their “breakthrough” books.
“Writers are not scholars but athletes, who grow beer bellies after 30,” as Updike (then well into his 30s) wrote in “Bech: A Book.” He was jesting, but only in part. Not every major fiction writer is a natural, but each begins with a storehouse of material and memories that often attenuate over time. Writers in their youth generally have more direct access to childhood, with its freshets of sensation and revelation. What comes later — technical refinement, command of the literary tradition, deeper understanding of the human condition — may yield different results but not always richer or more artful ones.
Certainly, Philip Roth could not have written “American Pastoral” or “Sabbath’s Theater” in his 20s. But the wisdom we associate with maturity sometimes surfaces early. Joyce was 25 when he wrote “The Dead.” He was a young man, but not a “young fiction writer.” So too with the Melville who wrote “Bartleby the Scrivener,” already a commercial washout at age 34. Yet today even writers deep into their 30s are depicted as being perpetually on the threshold, ingénues or hothouse shoots who need to be coaxed toward some hypothetical eventual flowering.
“What was notable in all the writing, above and beyond a mastery of language and of storytelling, was a palpable sense of ambition,” the New Yorker editors note in the introductory essay explaining their choice of writers. “They are all aiming for greatness: fighting to get our attention, and to hold it, in a culture that is flooded with words, sounds and pictures; fighting to surprise, to entertain, to teach, and to move not only us but generations of readers to come.”
No doubt all this is true. But it was also true, in some form or other, generations and even centuries ago. Now, as then, the most meaningful “fight” waged by literary artists is interior. Their principal adversary is not a noisy culture or inattentive readers. It is themselves.

La reclamación de derechos de las personas con diversidad funcional salta a los tribunales
18.06.2010 Media docena de bufetes en España respaldan a la asociación Solcom en los recursos ante la Justicia
R. LIZCANO
Santiago. Media docena de bufetes de abogados colaboran con la asociación Solcom en la denuncia por vía judicial de las vulneraciones de los derechos fundamentales de las personas con diversidad funcional (discapacidad). La entidad, constituida a finales de 2009 con el impulso del movimiento asociativo gallego, cuenta también con la colaboración de académicos del mundo del derecho que, más allá de las reclamaciones individuales, dan forma a recursos de mayor calado, relativos a normas dictadas por las administraciones que contradigan el espíritu de la Convención de Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad. El tratado, ratificado por España, promulga el derecho de las personas en situación de discapacidad "a vivir en la comunidad en igualdad de condiciones". Por el momento, Solcom ya ha recurrido el decreto gallego que regula la asistencia personal y la norma estatal que establece las cuantías máximas para cubrir los servicios previstos en la Ley de Dependencia.
Se trata de "pasar a la acción" y "allanar el camino" a quienes carecen de medios para reclamar los derechos que le pertenecen, señaló Mónica Sumay, vicepresidenta de Solcom, que ayer presentó junto a Juan José Maraña la jornada Diversidade Funcional e Dereitos, que se celebrará el próximo día 24 en el Centro Social de Caixanova de la plaza de Cervantes, con la colaboración del Ayuntamiento de Santiago, Caixanova y la Fundación Granell. El período de inscripción se mantendrá abierto hasta el día 22 en la dirección www.vigalicia.org/xornada hasta completar aforo.
