The Madrid
Town Council says no.
It has just
renewed the law that regulates who can have a taxi licence and is now
prohibiting people with HIV / AIDS to be behind a taxi driving wheel.
Because of
this decision the Coordinator of HIV / AIDS (CESIDA) has created an
online petition at Change.org.
I urge you sign
it, as I have done, which will tell the Madrid local government that it should
not discriminate against those unfortunate enough to have this serious medical
condition.
CESIDA rightly
argues that not a single passenger could contract HIV by sitting in a taxi.
They also
believe that this law is unjust and goes against prejudices already overcome by
the people of Madrid and Spain.
