It was voted on law plan of the Ministry of Development and Investments, which integrates into the Greek legal order the Directive on the accessibility of Disability in products and services. ND, SYRIZA, PASOK-KINAL and Hellenic Solution were in favor of the principle of the bill. He voted against the KKE. “Present”, declared MeRA25.

Shortly before the vote, the Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis, from the floor of the plenary session, addressed “the people who face problems and belong to the disabled”.

“My dear fellow citizens, I don’t want to mock you and tell you that by incorporating this Directive, your life will automatically become better, because that is not true. The effort to make our society better and to give our fellow citizens with disabilities the level of life they deserve and that we must give them, is a very difficult effort, a collective effort, it is far beyond the role of a law,” said Mr. Georgiadis.

As the minister added, it is a matter of human dignity to give them the standard of living they deserve: “When our society becomes better for these fellow citizens, it will also become better for us, because it will be fairer and more humane. And this battle, I believe that the parties as a whole should support it” he said. The Directive that is integrated into the Greek legal order today, with whatever disadvantages it may have, is a step in this direction, he added.

Finally, the Minister of Development and Investments submitted a series of legal and technical improvements, based on the proposals submitted by ESAmeA.
