A protest against cuts to medical services for immigrants. About a third of those seeking help from the charity, the Caritas report said, had never used a food pantry or a soup kitchen before the economic crisis hit. For many of them, the need to ask for help is deeply embarrassing. In some cases, families go to food pantries in neighboring towns so their friends and acquaintances won’t see them.

Una protesta contra los recortes saniyarios para inmigrantes.

A muchos de ellos, la necesidad de ayuda les avergüenza profundamente. En muchos casos las familias van a pedir comida a pueblos vecinos para que sus amigos y conocidos no los vean.
