Deficiencias del subsidio alimentario por parte del estado a las personas de la tercera edad en indigencia de la ciudad de Ibagué

Resumen

The elderly in poverty are subject to special protection. Therefore, they must be guaranteed the food subsidy by the state. (Constituent, art. 46., Congress, law 100 of 1993, arts., 257 to 262) The foregoing, presents certain shortcomings through the requirements established to access the food subsidy, added to the inconsistencies with the law 1251 of 2008 and with the concepts issued by the National Council of Economic and Social Policy. On the derisory financing of this fundamental guarantee and taking into account, the lack of legal objectivity, the non-observance of the constitution and the law. The disagreement between the regulations and public policy, from the development plans of the territorial entities and the deficient effort to dignify the life of these people of special protection, who are attacked by a society that least values them. In turn, the lack of training to provide knowledge of the law that welcomes them and the public policies of each territorial entity. Which leads to the following question: What deficiencies exist in the legal system and public policy, regarding the state food guarantee, to the elderly in a situation of indigence? The deficiencies are: (I) In the difficult process that does not distinguish their age, with respect to the decrease in physical and mental capacity, for not taking into account the difficulty of understanding at that age, which in turn becomes theft by part of people who take advantage of this, among other problems and inconveniences. (II) The subsidy, which, despite not being able to live minimally with dignity, includes unfavorable conditions in relation to its permanence, which disconfigures the end of this right. (III) Ignorance and inconsistency of the constitution and the law in public policy.
