Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa has announced that at the end of this month the government will approve a national strategy for the inclusion of people with disabilities, which will include measures to support employment and improve accessibility.
At the opening session of the second day of the high-level videoconference on the European Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030, under the Portuguese presidency of the Council of the European Union, Costa considered the adoption of this instrument as “a milestone in the construction of Europe”.
The prime minister highlighted some of the instruments that, since 2015, the governments he has led have implemented in this area, such as a social benefit for inclusion, the legal regime for inclusive education or the model support programme for independent living.
The European Union has launched a multilingual platform to help citizens participate directly in the Conference on the Future of Europe, a year-long series of debates and discussions that aims to reshape the bloc. We are inviting Europeans to speak up, to address their concerns and tell us what Europe they want to live in, said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, in a statement.
The digital platform will allow participants to exchange ideas and engage in discussions with their fellow EU citizens. The conversations will be centred on 10 key topics, such as climate change, health and digital transformation, although users will be able to put forward any subject they consider relevant.
