The president of the Government of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, revealed this Tuesday that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 19 when she was still studying her degree in Barcelona. The leader has made this announcement through her social networks with a video of the preview of the short film ‘Hoy no es siempre’ in which several women recount their experience with the disease.

In fact, I asked a friend to look for her and I remember she told me: don’t read it. The first thing you do is ask the doctor how it is cured and he tells you: This cannot be cured, and it will always be with you,” he said. The politician has reported that she went through several phases from denial to rage when she heard the news.
One of the moments that has marked him was when an older person with the same diagnosis told him that “one day he would thank life for that illness.” After these words he said he ran away “literally”: “It’s not that I’ve ever been grateful, but Yes, it has marked a way of understanding life. “I live life with passion, everything I do I live with passion,” he said.
After the preview of short film ‘Today is not always’the president of the Government has participated in the colloquium ‘Living with multiple sclerosis’, to tell, together with other women, how she is experiencing this disease in her daily life and her experiences.
