The presenter did not like that a collaborator used the term ‘disabled’, later using a word for which he apologized

‘The Ana Rosa program’ He had a somewhat unfortunate moment this Friday. Joaquín Prat had to correct one of his program companions when he used the term ‘disabled’ when reporting that a group of people was photographing “to all those cars that improperly occupy spaces for the disabled”.

Disabled’, please. ‘Disabled’ is a term that has not been used for a long time. I say this with all due respect. It says ‘people with disabilities’; ‘handicapped’, no. Thank you,” said the presenter, visibly annoyed, since it seems that this is not the first time this has happened: “I always say it… let’s see if we understand it.”

After returning from advertising, the matter took an unexpected turn, since Joaquín Prat had to apologize because he did not use the most appropriate words to talk about this group of people either.

“Earlier I have corrected my colleague for using the term ‘disabled’, but I myself have used a term, ‘disabled’, which should not be used either. You should talk about people with reduced mobility, functional diversity or with special needs. Neither ‘handicapped’ nor ‘disabled’. I apologize”the communicator excused himself before continuing with the course of the morning show.

Let’s see if we’re not wrong anymore& rdquor ;, said one of the usual collaborators at the program table, making Prat appear more conciliatory: “The important thing is to learn from mistakes & rdquor;.
