The Patio del Ayuntamiento de Huelva hosted an institutional event where a manifesto was read, demanding greater social, health, and administrative recognition for those suffering from these pathologies. The city's mayor, Pilar Miranda, expressed municipal support for affected individuals and highlighted FibrOnuba's dedication.
“"Behind this association are years of effort, listening, and accompanying people who have often had to face not only the pain of the illness but also incomprehension."
The mayor also praised the commitment of the association's president, as well as the board of directors and collaborators, for transforming FibrOnuba into a pillar of support and hope for numerous Huelva families. The event began with a welcome from the Councilor for Sports, Health, and Consumption, followed by the reading of the manifesto by the association's secretary and president.
Under the slogan 'Invisible pain, real disability, visible struggle,' FibrOnuba's manifesto advocated for the recognition of fibromyalgia and other invisible diseases as debilitating conditions. It called for more research, specialized medical care, socio-health resources, and a fair assessment of disability and incapacity.
“"Fibromyalgia is a real, complex, and limiting disease. Not all disabilities are visible, and precisely for this reason, it is so important to listen, understand, and accompany."
Mayor Pilar Miranda reiterated the Huelva City Council's commitment to the associative movement, especially with organizations like FibrOnuba, which perform essential work in care and emotional support. The council will continue to collaborate to improve the quality of life for those affected.
