Popular Party, Canarian Coalition and New Canaries have expressed their respect for Noelia Castillo's decision to receive euthanasia after the Vox deputy Paul Jover brought up the matter in a parliamentary committee to equate it with the murder of Miguel Ángel Blanco.
This Friday, in her turn to question the Minister of Social Welfare, Candelaria Delgado, about the protocol regarding the disappearances of supervised minors, Jover has stated that today Spain "is in mourning" for the death of Noelia after receiving euthanasia, which she has referred to as "murder".
Paula Jover already starred last summer a disagreement with the head of Education of the Canary Islands, Poli Suárez, for the use of an LGTBIQ+ flag in a public school in the archipelago, where the far-right formation asked to prohibit the hoisting of a rainbow flag in an educational center.
He has drawn a parallel between the assassination, by ETA, of Miguel Ángel Blanco, PP councilor in the Ermua City Council, and the case of Noelia Castillo, with the only difference that then "we all agreed that that was an assassination and what happened yesterday has legal protection".
The Vox deputy has regretted that for Noelia "the public system always failed her": first, when custody was removed from her parents, then when the foster entity "was not able to ensure that she was not sexually abused", or when "the public system" did not give her "an adequate treatment for her paraplegia and mental health", and when justice did not attend her father's request that her euthanasia not be performed.
María Isabel Saaavedra (PP) has been the first deputy to reply to Paula Jover to express her "deep respect" for Noelia's decision, which has been "personal, intimate and difficult", and "what we must do is respect it".
Cristina Calero (CC) has endorsed Saavedra's words and has noted "how curious" it is that "some parties" judge a young woman's decision to receive euthanasia while "they question deaths due to gender violence. Perhaps as a society we should rethink it," she reflected.
In the same vein, Natalia Santana (NC) has affirmed that Noelia's decision "deserves to be accompanied with dignity, empathy and, above all, the most absolute respect for her will."
