About 300 disabled people gathered Monday to stage protest in front of the Council of Ministers' building in downtown Sofia, demanding higher pensions.
The protesters insist on forming their integration allowances on the base of the officially fixed minimal month salary.
They demanded also that the Disabled People Agency should get status of a ministry.
"The newly established fund for accessible architecture environment for the disabled people should be managed by representatives of the disabled people's organizations all across the country," the protesters said.
They announced they have already submitted their demands to the Council of Ministers.
