More than 200 handicapped people gathered Thursday in front of the Bulgarian parliament to protest against the genocide of the people with disabilities.

The protestors handed a protest note to the speaker of the parliament Georgi Pirinski.

The people with disabilities protest because the cabinet refuses to correct a gap in the law, which makes it impossible for the people to own medical appliances. The handicapped protestors are also against the introduction of the 10% flat tax, which will seriously harm their revenues.
