The mayor of Almería, María del Mar Vázquez, argued on Monday, November 9 that "it is not about people with disabilities adapting to society, but about society being adapted for people, regardless of their abilities". She did so at the opening of the conference "Ciudades más inclusivas. Logros alcanzados, retos por conseguir", held at the Espacio ALMA with the Fundación Cajasol. Vázquez called for "the rules to be the same for all people with disabilities" in all autonomous communities and thanked the sector's associations for their work. The subsequent round table included the councillor for Family, Inclusion and Equality, Paola Laynez; the president of Verdiblanca, Antonio Sánchez de Amo; the president of the Asociación de Esclerosis Múltiple, Isabel Martínez; the president of the Asociación El Saliente, Matías García, and the psychologist Laura Gázquez, head of the Entorno Fácil project.
