The Handicaps Collective boycotts the meeting. The Collectif Handicaps, which brings together 52 associations, regrets a “lack of coordination”, and will boycott this meeting. The collective thus criticizes the organization of this conference for its “lack of coordination” and his “apparent lack of ambition”.
The Elysée promises 70 “strong measures”. These measures will determine disability policies over the next three years, with “immediate involvement over the next three years” on the lives of the 12 million French people affected by disabilities and 8 million caregivers, according to the Elysée. Established by the law of 2005 and organized every three years, the CNHs set the course for public disability policies.
