Annita Dimitriou: Increase in Student Grant and Child Benefit for Low-Income Households

The President of DISY, Annita Dimitriou, is calling for an increase in the student grant and child benefit for families with low incomes. She believes that supporting low-income families is essential and that the government must take immediate action. Ms. Dimitriou recalls that DISY had submitted amendments to the tax reform that supported the middle class, but low-income families did not benefit sufficiently. She calls on the government to submit legislation providing for a substantial increase in the student grant and child benefit, in order to effectively support the most vulnerable households. Ms. Dimitriou emphasizes that this is a long-standing position of the party and requires an immediate response from the government.
