[01] Caring for disabled people is a self-evident obligation of the state,
says Pavlopoulos
Caring for people with disabilities constitutes a self-evident obligation
of the welfare state, President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Friday,
ahead of the International Day of People with Disability on Saturday.
"The special care or people with disabilities constitute a self-evident
obligation which derives directly from the fundamental coordinates of the
welfare state and also our culture," the president said in his message.
"The aforementioned obligation is becoming even more acute today, in the
sense that no crisis of any depth can reduce our obligations concerning
the active and multifaceted support of persons with disabilities,"
he added.
