Immensely revolted, Greek pensioners stand up in protest: We are dying of hunger

Immensely revolted, Greek pensioners stand up in protest: We are dying of hunger

The center of the Greek capital Athens was blocked for several hours on Wednesday morning after a protest by hundreds of pensioners gathered in the square in front of the parliament.

Then they went to the prime minister's office throwing slogans and holding placards. Among their main demands is the increase of all pensions, the lowest pension should be 650 euros from the 384 it is today, the return of some unjustly withheld taxes, etc.

Representatives of pensioners' associations who spoke with the Minister of State were able to secure after 3.5 years a meeting with Prime Minister Mitsotakis on October 14.

"They have cut our pensions almost in half. We are on the verge of poverty and hunger, in contrast to the people who govern us and who live well. We are dying of hunger," says Alexandros Solomos, a pensioner.

 The protest of the pensioners comes at a moment of the deepening of the energy crisis, and the record infalicon that the Greek society is facing, while the unions of the state sector have announced a general strike on November 9, with the main demands being to meet the increase in prices and the increase in salaries.

"We are forced not to heat our houses, not to drive cars and reduce the amount of food we buy from the supermarket", says Anna Eleftheriadi, a pensioner.

According to the National Institute of Statistics ELSTAT last year (2021), 6% of the population or 624,000 Greeks declared that they faced food insufficiency and for another 156,000 this lack was very serious. Also 1.2 million Greeks said they feared they might not be able to meet their food needs.

In the conditions of extreme uncertainty caused by the energy crisis, the budget plan for 2023, which includes support measures of 3.5 billion euros and foresees a "reserve" of another 1 billion, was presented to the parliament in the last few hours to deal with negative developments on the front of the "energy" war. Expecting that inflation this year will close at the level of 8.8% and drop significantly to 3.1% next year, the government has declared that only for 2022 it has announced measures worth 12 billion euros, of which 11.3 billion went to subsidize electricity and natural gas bills for households and businesses.
