The President of COCEMFE, Mario Garcia, considered that is an important initiative that will certainly facilitate knowledge of all the rules in the field of disability and in turn help compliance with laws that have to do with people with disabilities, because it is once noted that it remains one of the unfinished business in our country ”.
