The association representing Greece’s disabled people commented:
“We declare our determination to keep fighting to reverse the adverse conditions under which we are living because of the painful and tough measures of persistent austerity that have resulted in our pauperization,” adding,”We are fighting for our right to life and dignity.”
The protests took place just one day before the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is to be celebrated on Saturday in Athens.
