Government approved the draft disability act

Bulgaria’s Minister of Labour and Social Policy, Bisser Petkov, announced that the government approved the draft law on people with disabilities on 17^th of October. The draft was prepared in the recent 5 months and largely satisfies the protesting mothers' demands for children with disabilities.

Minister Petkov: The draft law provides for measures to support people with disabilities - both financial support and support for building an accessible environment, as well as support for employers for setting up and adapting workplaces for people with disabilities. I would like to emphasize that the rights of people with disabilities and the measures envisaged in the draft are covered by a financial resource totaling BGN 486 million.

The Social Minister responded to pensioners who protested outside the building of the Council of Ministers asking for a sharp increase in pensions, according to him, the minimum pension is rising, but a sharp increase for which pensioners insist would lead to imbalances in the system.
