Ripoll affirmed that his party will create the National Disability Secretariat within the orbit of the Presidency of the Republic, emphasizing that “we are going to take care of those parents, when they see that they are getting older and the anguish of what is going to happen begins with their son when they are not there, today they are going to be calm enjoying their children until the last day, because we are going to make sure that when they are not there, their children continue to be well.
The candidate promised that an eventual government led by the National Party will provide support to families facing this reality.
In addition, he pointed out that addictions and mental health are urgent problems that must be taken as a priority. Ripoll assured that his party is “the only party that is committed to raising the costs of addiction treatment for all families who cannot pay for it, because no Uruguayan can be left behind.”
