Disabilities, Greek style

El gobierno de Grecia expande la lista de "discapacidades" a ser amparadas por la legislación, para poder solicitar licencias con goce de sueldo, etc.

Ahora se puede tramitar licencia por discapacidad por pedofilia, exhibicionismo, cleptomanía, juego compulsivo y también piromanía.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Greek disability groups expressed anger Monday at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs.

The National Confederation of Disabled People called the action "incomprehensible," and said pedophiles are now awarded a higher government disability pay than some people who have received organ transplants.

The Labor Ministry said categories added to the expanded list - that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists - were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.

But NCDP leader Yiannis Vardakastanis, who is blind, warned the new list could create new difficulties for disabled Greeks who are already facing benefit cuts due to the country's financial crisis.

Idea para Luis : Mudamos el blog a un server en Grecia, y tramitamos una pensión por discapacidad alegando opinion compulsiva. Que tal ?
