Spanish ALS Patients Protest Delayed Funding, 600 Deaths Since Law's Approval

ALS patients in Santander, Spain, are protesting the delayed implementation of a law passed six months ago that was intended to provide funding for their treatments. The delay has resulted in the deaths of 600 people, with three more dying each day. "We are not going to stop," said Juan Carlos Unzué, an ALS patient, in an interview. The patients are demanding that the government allocate the necessary funds to make the law effective and prevent further deaths. Their plight highlights the critical need for timely implementation of healthcare legislation and the devastating consequences of inaction.
