Gérald Oriol Jr., the Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities, expresses his deep concern at the worsening situation in recent weeks.

He took the opportunity to emphasize to everyone that the disabled population, because of its high social vulnerability, is a great victim of this situation.

While recognizing the right of everyone to express themselves in various forms as a citizen, the Secretary of State Oriol believes that it is also important to recall the need to respect the fundamental rights of others, even in times of crisis.

Recalling that the latest events have prompted a large number of organizations of people with disabilities to appeal for emergency assistance, the survival of their members is at stake when they are deprived of water and food...

Gérald Oriol Jr. calls for the understanding and solidarity of everyone so that the rights of persons with disabilities are fully respected in the difficult circumstances of our country.
