The workers of the Dependency Foundation began their indefinite strike this Wednesday, with a follow-up rate of between 85 and 90%. Their first protest action was a rally outside the headquarters of the Department of Families, Social Welfare, and Care for Dependent People in Palma, which brought together around 100 protesters. According to Marina Martínez, the president of the inter-center committee of the Dependency Foundation, the follow-up rate on this first day of the strike reached between 85 and 90 percent of the 850 workers who work in a dozen centers and residences in Mallorca and Ibiza. Specifically, they are workers from the Son Llebre, Son Tugores, and Son Güells residences in Mallorca and Can Raspall, Can Blai, and Sa Serra in Ibiza. They also work from the Adult Care and Support Service and the Sa Riera Occupational Center. Those who are at their jobs to cover the decreed minimum services, she assured, also expressed their support for the demonstrations and their "firm will to support the strike."

This Tuesday's Council of Ministers approved the reform of the Dependency Law and the General Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The regulatory changes, piloted by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption, and the 2030 Agenda, under the leadership of Pablo Bustinduy, were approved in the second round, and are now headed to the Congress of Deputies. Among the notable measures is the elimination of the incompatibility between dependency benefits and services.
