The rights of war disabled veterans for 47 years without a special law(?)
A FURIOUS PARADOX FADES
— War disabled veterans and political invalids were the only ones in Albania who were not granted a pension by the state. —
Yesterday's leadership of the blind followed with concern how many people lost limbs or their lives in the name of freedom and democracy, yet after the political and social changes in the country they do not even benefit from those minimal rights that should have been recognized by law.
