Leh Valens came to the Sejm to support protesting disabled people

The former President of Poland and the leader of the anti -communist movement "Solidarity" Lech Valens met on Monday with the disabled and their parents, who have been holding a sedentary strike in the Polish Sejm for more than a month, and expressed their solidarity to them, and also decisively condemned the government of the Party "Law and Justice".

Several young people in wheelchairs, and their parents want to receive more state assistance. Although the number of protesters is small, the occupation of their corridor in parliament received wide lighting in the Polish media and became a “headache” for the ruling party.

Valens, an active critic of the government, joined them on Monday morning and stayed with them for about an hour. He said: "You called me and I came." “I would like to contribute to your struggle,” Valens said.

The ruling party "Law and Justice" won the elections in 2015, promising to help poor and other destitute people, but now she is faced with accusations of a heartless attitude to the weakest members of society. The President, Prime Minister and Minister of Social Policy visited the protesters and fulfilled some of their requirements, but claim that the state cannot afford to pay them everything they want. Protesters, whose families receive some state aid, require an additional 500 zlotys per month (115 euros, 135 US dollars) to meet the needs for physiotherapy.
