CUTS TO FREE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

People demonstrated in Barcelona against recent cuts to free medical assistance for illegal immigrants. Little relief is in sight as the country’s regional governments, facing their own budget crisis, are chipping away at a range of previously free services, including school lunches for low-income families.

La gente se manifesta en Barcelona contra recientes recortes a la asistencia medica gratuita para inmigrantes indocumentados. Hay pocas perspectivas de mejoria ya que los gobiernos regionales del pais, que enfrentan sus propias crisis de presupuesto, estan renunciando a una amplia gama de servicios anteriormente gratuitos  que incluian comidas escolares para familias con bajos ingresos.
