Protest against misuse of the word cancer policies

Written by Sandeep Nehra

League against Cancer protested against the use “indiscriminately” in the word cancer by politicians, “complicit in social and semantic ghettos” and “starved of respect” for the sick.

Laurent Wauquiez, Minister for European Affairs, spoke last week of “drifts from welfare” as a “cancer of French society.”

Several policies have responded to him on the same theme by stating that “the real cancer in the country is unemployment, not the unemployed,” or, as Segolene Royal, “the cancer of our society are the inequalities” or for the Minister Roselyne Bachelot solidarity, “the difficulties in entering the French.”

In Italy, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has spoken of judges as the “cancer of democracy.”

According to the League, by using this “untimely and inappropriate” in the word cancer, politicians “woefully lacking respect towards patients and their relatives’ home and create” a genuine malaise.

She recalled in a statement that being a cancer “is a harbinger of a double punishment.” “Our employees are dismissed because of the intrusion of cancer in their lives, are denied access to credit even with former patients and is only partially reimburses the vital elements of their dignity,” said Gilbert Lenoir, president of the League.

The League also reminds us that cancer is an incurable disease: healed when you do that 3% of cancers in the early twentieth century, one in two wins his fight against the disease in 2011.

“The political leaders we refer to the time of flags cancer,” said the league wants to get out of the ghetto and semantic social cancer “and” combat prejudices and misconceptions “regarding a condition that” No is not a taboo.”

The League has offered for sale in March, an orange shirt and a scarf in the colors of Team France against cancer, to make visible the fight against the disease.
