Kostas Tsoukalas, spokesperson for the PASOK-KINAL party, criticized the New Democracy government’s failure to provide adequate support for low-income pensioners facing rising living costs. He highlighted that only a limited number of pensioners received emergency aid this year, while many are left without assistance despite the current inflation crisis. Tsoukalas emphasized the need for a sustainable support mechanism for the economically vulnerable, calling for a new EKAS program to prevent pensioners from being used as pawns in political tactics.
