The Pancyprian Conference held by EKYSY on October 3 at PEO’s amphitheater in Nicosia, on the occasion of October 1, International Day for the Elderly, honored by the International Organization of Pensioners of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), was massive and militant.
The pensioners who participated after the end of the Congress took to the streets to demonstrate outside the Ministry of Finance their indignation at the many and chronic problems they face and which are not solved due to the callousness of governments under the slogan “Pensioners are entitled to and demand a decent living”
The main speaker at the Conference was the General Secretary of EKYSY, Kostas Skarparis, who denounced the deterioration of the financial situation of pensioners due to the high prices that have hit them mercilessly in recent years noting that “Pensioners face too many problems that remain unresolved by the responsibility of both the previous and the new government.” The conference was addressed by PEO Secretary General Sotiroulla Charalambous and AKEL General Secretary Stefanos Stephanou.
The Mass Media in Cyprus in their newsletters emphasized the fact the event was organized on the occasion of October 1, International Day for the Elderly, honored by the International Organization of Pensioners of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU).
