The minister, during her meeting with the representatives of the cooperating pension organizations, had the opportunity to thoroughly discuss both their requests and the initiatives that the government has implemented for their practical support, through increasing their income and speedy awarding of pensions.

After the end of the meeting, Mrs. Michailidou stated: “Our policies have as their main objective the increase of pensioners’ income and the improvement of their daily life. In this context, the immediate awarding of pensions is included, as well as the incentives we established for our retired fellow citizens who wish to work. We abolished the withholding of 30% of their pension and now they receive it in full. This implies additional income of up to 3,500 euros per year for each working pensioner. We are close to pensioners with actions and projects. We are not going to leave anyone behind.”
