We were at a conference in Berlin! – of course only online
Our association received an invitation from the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs to a very professional online conference on effective political participation of people with disabilities in Europe. It's an exciting subject, isn't it?
In fact the conference can be summed up with the following motto: democracy needs insulsion!

Response to our complaint about the treatment of institutional closures
We received a surprisingly dismissive response to our letter complaining about the handling of cases of our peers in the second wave of Covid viruses. Unfortunately, the head of the institution in Pécs completely ignored the willingness of our letter to help, its desire for a common solution, and we received a rejection showing a complete lack of cooperation.
The law allows us to contact the maintainer if we disagree. Of course we disagree, because we cannot agree with the interpretation of epidemiological standards without empathy and humaneness, we will continue to strive for partnership and continue to help. This is what we have declared to the the maintenance organisation in our appeal letter today, trusting in their understanding. We hope they recognize that we share common goals and continue to offer help.

We had a conference with students
We are always very glad to be able to involve young people in our work and show them what the life is like as a disabled person. It's very good with them, they almost don't need to be sensitized, for them the acceptance of differentness is absolutely natural.

Letter of complaint to alleviate institutional closures
Some members of our association live in institutions because of their disabilities. The first wave of COVID has already put them in a very difficult situation by being completely isolated for three months, neither allowed to go out or receive visitors in any form.At the moment, in the second wave, they are forced to go through the same thing. We are today delivering official juice to the maintainers and managers of the institution concerned in Pécs, to which we expect a response within 15 days as a complaint.

It gives particular topicality to the submission, we are preparing for the second wave and that the institutions continue to have strange restrictive measures towards our members.
