EKYSY is indignant: "The necessary sensitivity is not shown, thousands of pensioners receive pensions below the poverty line

The Union of Cypriot Pensioners (EKYSY) is expressing its strong dissatisfaction regarding the current financial status of the elderly. The organization claims that the state fails to show the necessary social sensitivity toward the challenges faced by retirees. According to their reports, thousands of individuals continue to live on incomes that fall significantly below the official poverty line. EKYSY is calling for immediate support measures to combat the rising cost of living and the specific needs of the elderly population. Furthermore, they emphasize the urgent need for a revision of social benefits and pension provisions. The union warns that the situation has reached a breaking point for many households across the country.
