Macarena Cabrillana, bronze medalist at the Santiago 2023 Games, attended a show at the Gran Arena Monticello but was unable to enjoy the show.
Parapan American medalist Macarena Cabrillana took to her social networks to denounce the lack of inclusion at the Laura Pausini concert which took place this Saturday at the Gran Arena Monticello .
The tennis player accused that the area reserved for people in wheelchairs was not in a place allowing a clear view of the stage where the Italian singer was performing.
The complaint was filed through a video published on Instagram in which the winner of the bronze medal at Santiago 2023 shows photographs from her point of view in which we can see how the rest of the public, by getting up, prevented her to see the concert. “Incredible that in this day and age, people with reduced mobility still have to experience such situations. “, he wrote accompanying the photographs.
Finally, she detailed the situation she experienced and even volunteered for the show venue to take the necessary measures so that people in wheelchairs could enjoy these presentations.
“They don’t know how helpless it is to be a disabled person, pay for one of the most expensive tickets so you can have a good view of the show and have the production put you in the “wheelchair seat” where clearly the vision of a person in a chair is zero, because when the show starts obviously everyone gets up “, he began to indicate.
“The worst part was that when I identified the problem, I asked the managers for help and they only told me that they would come and help me find a solution. I asked four times. I’m still waiting for them to arrive “he added.
In the same spirit, he revealed that “I’m fed up, times have changed a lot and it’s time for this to stop happening in our country “.
Finally, he demanded “compensation for a show that I was unable to see or appreciate » and at the same time indicated that “So that this does not continue, I kindly offer to help you implement ideas (which is nothing extraordinary) so that the wheelchair space actually meets the goal of inclusion. “.
