Nell’ambito di una visita di studio a Roma organizzata dal Programma BOMCA (Border Management Programme in Central Asia), il Difensore Civico della Regione Lazio, nonché Presidente del Coordinamento Nazionale dei Difensori Civici italiani, Marino Fardelli, ha accolto una delegazione di funzionari statali del Turkmenistan.

La visita si inserisce all’interno del Componente 4 del Programma BOMCA, che pone particolare attenzione alla tutela dei diritti e al supporto dei gruppi vulnerabili nelle comunità di confine più remote.

Durante l’incontro, sono stati approfonditi i principali aspetti dell’ordinamento italiano in materia di diritti , con un focus particolare sul ruolo e le competenze dei Difensori Civici regionali e sull’approccio multilivello della protezione dei diritti in Italia. La delegazione turkmena ha mostrato grande interesse per l’esperienza italiana, in considerazione dell’impegno che il Turkmenistan sta portando avanti dal 2017, anno di istituzione del proprio Ufficio del Difensore Civico.

L’incontro è stato caratterizzato da uno scambio di domande e risposte durato oltre due ore, seguito da una discussione tecnica su modelli e buone pratiche in ambito regionale.

A conclusione della visita, il Difensore Civico Marino Fardelli ha rivolto un caloroso saluto ai partecipanti, invitandoli a scoprire le bellezze storiche e culturali della città di Roma.

“Questa iniziativa si inserisce nell’ottica del rafforzamento della cooperazione internazionale e della promozione dei diritti fondamentali come base per uno sviluppo equo e sostenibile”, ha dichiarato Marino Fardelli.

PVA verweigert Handprothese – Volksanwalt Achitz: „Paradebeispiel für schlechte Verwaltung“

Michael G. fehlt die rechte Hand, seit er 15 Jahre alt ist. Er hat zwar eine Prothese, aber ohne Funktionen – eine „Schmuckhand“, wie er sagt. Damit der heute 57-Jährige besser arbeiten kann, und weil er seinen Job bis zur Pension behalten will, hat er eine myoelektrische Unterarmprothese mit Greiffunktion beantragt. Die PVA hat ihn die Prothese zwei Wochen lang in einem Reha-Zentrum testen lassen – nur um ihm dann mitzuteilen, dass er die Prothese gar nicht brauchen würde – Antrag abgelehnt! Für Volksanwalt Bernhard Achitz ist das nicht nachvollziehbar: „Michael G. braucht die Prothese für seinen Beruf, deswegen muss sie die PVA bewilligen. Immer wird gefordert, dass die Menschen länger erwerbstätig bleiben, aber wenn es darauf ankommt, legt die Sozialversicherung Hürden in den Weg.“ (...)

From Office of the Ombudsman

Ombudsman Ger Deering was delighted to engage with a number of Public Participation Networks in counties throughout Ireland in recent months. A Public Participation Network (PPN) is a network that allows local authorities to connect with community groups around the country. Engaging with the PPNs helps the Ombudsman ensure that those who may have dealings with public services more than others are aware of the Ombudsman service if something does go wrong.

The Ombudsman addressed recent Plenary sessions of PPNs in Mayo (29 April), Cork County (1 May) and Leitrim (15 May), as well as in Monaghan and Fingal earlier this year, meeting volunteers and explaining the role of the Ombudsman. A number of similar appearances at other PPNs are planned for the year ahead.
