2 Euro - Rights of Persons with Disabilities - Spain - 2026 - UNC

2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the constitutional reform on the rights of persons with disabilities, UNC.
On January 25, 2024, the proposed amendment to Article 49 of the Spanish Constitution—dedicated to the protection and rights of persons with disabilities—was approved (by a vote of 312 in favor and 32 against).
Thanks to the reform proposal, presented by the Socialist and Popular parliamentary groups, the language and content of the provision have been updated. In particular, the new text no longer uses the term “disabled” but rather “people with disabilities.” According to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, the change in terminology reflects a shift away from the medical-welfare model toward a human rights-based approach more in line with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
According to the Prime Minister, through this reform, “we are settling a moral debt we owe to over 4 million of our fellow citizens.”
