Acreditar wants subsidy for parents of children with cancer

Observador1 September 2026 at 07:48

The Acreditar association advocates for the creation of a specific subsidy for parents of children with cancer. The organization considers that current legislation does not adequately meet the needs of these families.

Currently, the assistance subsidy for children with prolonged illness only allows one person from the household to miss work to accompany the child and receive the benefit. This limitation particularly affects families where both parents would need to be present during treatments.

Sánchez points to Russia and Israel in the Ceuta crisis. "Only it wasn't Moscow that transported them by truck" and Tel Aviv "does not have and never has had" a disinformation policy like Russia's

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pointed to Russia and Israel as responsible for the migratory crisis in Ceuta, but the former director of SIED, Jorge Silva Carvalho, considers these accusations exaggerated. Although he recognizes that Russia has been using immigration for years as an instrument of hybrid warfare and social media to deepen divisions in European democracies, the intelligence specialist pointed out that Moscow was not directly responsible for transporting migrants by truck and that Israel never had a disinformation policy comparable to the Russian one. In his analysis, these disinformation campaigns continue to be effective because their main objective is to empower the extremes in democratic societies.
