DISY President Calls for Legislation to Increase Student Grants and Child Benefits

The President of DISY, Annita Demetriou, has called on the Government to submit legislation to increase student grants and child benefits, with the aim of supporting low-income families. Ms. Demetriou stressed that increasing support for low-income families is essential and that the Government must move forward in this direction immediately. She also stated that DISY's amendments to the tax reform supported the middle class, but left behind low-income families, which can only be corrected through government initiative. The President of DISY called on the Government to fully respond and submit the relevant legislation.
