The mothers of children with disabilities, united by the initiative "The system is killing us", have announced that they are going to the early parliamentary elections on October 2 together with "Stand Up, Bulgaria", the civil organization of the former ombudsman Maya Manolova, who has always been by their side. 

"Here every day we met the callousness, the turning of the heads and the looks of 99% of all these people's elected officials and we asked ourselves how we elected them at all." 

After the disenchantment with the politics "of those pretending to be the new faces", the members of "The system is killing us" see no other way to fight for a dignified future for their children than to enter politics, Vera Ivanova from the initiative announced before the parliament.

"Together we will really become a strong team of fighters," said Maya Manolova.
