Disabled people: We’re discriminated

Concerned, the Association of Blind and Paraplegic people have identified yet another electricity compensation reduction that is related with the exclusion from price increases that go for any other citizen. This right has been recognized with a government decision in 2006 for defending the categories in need from energy price increase.

“The real profits are ridiculous, because through this decision, the paraplegic and blind people have had their benefit halved or limited”, declared Sinan Tafaj, head of the Disabled People association.

The leaders of the associations warn for protests, as the only option for defending their rights. They feel discriminated by the reduction of benefits that they used to benefit.

Former political prisoners not receiving compensation

The former political prisoners say that the government has neglected their compensation for the years passed in prison during the communist era for political reasons.

“We have not received anything. The government has passed the law, but they are neglecting it and not opening our files”, declared Agron Luka, a former political prisoner.

They had requested a permission to protest in front of the Prime Minister’s office, but the police did not approve it.

There are more than 500 hundred files of political prisoners who are waiting their compensation, but only a small part of them have received the payment.
