The Trump Government insists on asking the authorities to investigate Noelia’s euthanasia: “We failed her in life”

The US Government insists on x-ray the death of the young woman Noelia Castillowho last week received euthanasia protected by Spanish law. The Trump Administration considers “imperative” that the authorities shed light about a case marked by strong controversy and after an unusual judicial process of almost two years.

“It is imperative that authorities investigate this tragic case. Every life is sacred. Noelia was failed in life. We can’t afford to fail you once again.“demanded the United States Embassy in Spain in a message on social networks published this Thursday.

The diplomatic mission has replicated in Spanish another previous tweet from Riley Barnesa senior official from the State Department’s Office of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor in which he echoed the Trump Administration’s request to investigate the euthanasia of the 25-year-old girl.

According to the newspaper The New York Postthe State Department has instructed the US Embassy in Madrid to collect information on how the assisted death of Noelia Castillo was carried out, justifying alleged failures in the protection system of vulnerable people. North American authorities would also view the application of euthanasia in cases of non-terminal suffering with suspicion.

Noelia Castillo died last week at the age of 25 after finally receiving euthanasia in Sant Pere de Ribes (Barcelona), after a long judicial journey of more than a year and a half. Her father, represented by the ultra-Catholic organization Christian Lawyers, tried throughout this time to revoke his daughter’s decision, endorsed by up to five judicial instances.

His case was validated, specifically, by the Guarantee and Evaluation Commission of Catalonia, the independent committee that analyzes and approves each request for assisted death following all the precepts established by the euthanasia law.

Moncloa replica

The Trump Administration has stressed, to initiate these investigations, that Noelia Castillo showed “doubts” about the procedure that were ignored, generating concern about human rights. The young woman, who was protected by the Generalitat due to the neglect of her parents, reported being a victim of several episodes of sexual violence and had already tried to take her own life on other occasions.

Monica Garciathe Minister of Health, has acted as spokesperson for the Government of Pedro Sánchez to show her discomfort with the White House for encouraging doubts about the application of euthanasia.

“Thousands of people die every year in the United States without health insurance, while Trump supports and executes human rights violations between Gaza and Iran. Stop fueling the ultra-international agenda sticking their noses anywhere“, he shot in a message in X.

“Spain is a serious country, with a solid health system and a framework of rights that protects and cares for all peoplealso to those who decide to ask for help to die with dignity in contexts regulated by law, evaluated by clinical committees and endorsed by the courts,” defended the Minister of Health.

Salvador Illahe president of the Generalitat and former Minister of Health when the euthanasia law was drafted, also used social networks to charge against the open offensive from Washington.

“We will defend with all firmness the professionals of our health system before any malicious attack that questions his worth and performance. “We defend the right to a dignified death after approving one of the most advanced and exemplary legal frameworks in the world.”
