Four Deaf Parliamentarians in Europe! EUD would like to take this opportunity to announce that there are four Deaf Members of Parliaments around Europe. Never before in Deaf history, there are four at the same time in one particular area in the world. It clearly proves that sign language is no barrier in the world of politics. It will serve as an inspiration for all Deaf Europeans to follow their historical paths to serve their countries through their Parliaments. EUD also supports their appointments and will continue to promote their work and show other countries about their remarkable achievements as a clear example to break down language barriers. They are:
