GOVERNMENT PRACTISES ECONOMY ON THE HANDICAPPED?

The Ministry of Youth, Family and Social Affairs does not support the disabled to buy a car, the ministry said they had sequestered this account but later their press department spoke only about some delays.

Car dealers have turned to Magyar Nemzet with their complaint that the ministry would not pay for the voucher issued by it for the handicapped to buy cars. Last year 5000 such vouchers were issued each to an upper limit of HUF 300 000 while the state helps the adjustment of cars for the use of the disabled with HUF 30 000. Gábor Gablini, chairman of the National Union of Car Dealers said to Magyar Nemzet they were unable to undertake more restrictions as the market had serious burdens because of a permanent circular indebtedness.
