François Mitterrand: "The government meets its duty"

President François Mitterrand visited the Danielle Casanova Integrated School in Argenteuil. The hotel welcomes children and young people with hearing impairments. On the global issue of disability, the Head of State stresses the need to increase the number of establishments operating in integrated mode and calls for his solidarity, even in times of economic crisis. He explains: "In a time of abundance it would be easier. In any case, the duty is the same: that is to say a better redistribution of the national product. But even in a time of scarcity, can we leave those who suffer from disabilities without means? This is not possible. A government like the one I set up has a duty to help all categories of French people who find it difficult to be ... The government manages properly, finally... meets its duty".
