A Stand for Dignity: Pensioners Rally Against Government Measures
Pensioners in Nicosia rallied on October 1, the International Day of Older People, to protest against the government’s removal of VAT exemptions on power bills and electricity subsidies, which threaten their financial security. Led by Sotiroulla Charalambous, they demand economic justice, the abolition of penalties for early retirement, and policies ensuring a dignified life for the elderly.
