La crisi del coronavirus è stata senza dubbio il più grande problema sanitario del nostro paese nel secolo scorso. Decine di migliaia di persone sono state infettate e uccise da Covid-19 in Spagna, costringendo le autorità ad adottare misure drastiche come il confinamento domestico o l'imposizione di restrizioni alla mobilità e ad altri diritti fondamentali che, quasi un anno e mezzo dopo l'inizio della crisi, in alcuni casi persistono ancora.

Among them, they call for "the end of a biological model that presupposes organic (physical) damage without scientific evidence", "that mental health be a political priority, " the recovery of the legitimacy of which we psychiatrized people are deprived "or the "Empowerment of psychiatrized people and survivors of psychiatry". They also highlight that 84% of psychiatrized people are unemployed, which, according to the manifesto, leads them to "poverty and exclusion"
