Government's withdrawal from its initial position on the age limit for the granting of the 250 euro allowance to pensioners due to disability, following pressure from PASOK and the institutional representatives of the disability movement is proof of the results of the opposition exercised by PASOK," PASOK-Movement for Change spokesman Kostas Tsoukalas said in a statement on Monday.
He stressed that "unfortunately, the government insists on excluding many other categories of low pensioners".
"We call the government to immediately implement our proposals to restore the Social Solidarity Allowance for Pensioners, abolish the personal difference and reduce the pensioners' solidarity contribution," Tsoukalas concluded.
