La reforma de la legislación civil para el apoyo a las personas con discapacidad en el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica (Ley 8/2021, de 2 de junio), busca la adaptación a la Convención de Nueva York de 2006 para facilitar la toma de las propias decisiones de esas personas mediante un modelo de apoyos. No se trata de que el tercero que apoya sustituya a la persona con discapacidad intelectual, sino de que aquel ponga a disposición de ésta los apoyos precisos para que pueda tomar sus propias decisiones, recuperando su protagonismo en la toma de decisiones que le afectan, como protagonista activo en el desarrollo de su proyecto vital. La intervención del tercero que apoya no es para sustituir a la persona con discapacidad intelectual en la toma de decisiones, sino que se dirige a ayudarla a decidir para que pueda desarrollar su libertad y su autonomía personal.
The reform of civil legislation to support people with disabilities in the exercise of their legal capacity (Law 8/2021, of June 2), seeks to adapt to the New York Convention of 2006 in order to facilitate the taking of own decisions of these people through a model of supports. It does not consist in that the third party that supports replaces the person with intellectual disability, but rather that he makes the necessary support available to him so that he can make his own decisions, getting back his role in making decisions that affect him, becoming active protagonist in the development of his vital project. The intervention of the third party that supports does not have the purpose to replace the person with intellectual disability in decision-making, but is aimed at helping them to decide so that they can develop their freedom and personal autonomy.
