Pensions Tested by Inflation, Not Time

Former Minister of Defense and Mayor of Aglantzia, a DISY candidate for Nicosia, analyzes the pension problem, emphasizing that it is not due to time, but to inflation. He points out that pensioners do not have the ability to offset the increases in the cost of living and live with uncertainty and a limited budget. He stresses the need for a serious and clear pension system, with simplified procedures and a clear picture for beneficiaries. He emphasizes that changes must benefit low-income pensioners and improve their daily lives, while social policy must be judged by the result, that is, people's ability to meet their basic needs.
