On AKEL's statements about low pensioners and haircuts, DISY's press spokesman is quoted in a written statement, Dimitris Demetriou, responding to the fire launched by AKEL at Averof Neophytou.
"AKEL is firing at Averof Neophytou today for the low pensioners and the haircutters, apparently forgetting again what has been done so far," Demetriou said.
He continues by stating that the government and the Democratic Rally "we made it possible that there is no low pensioner whose total income is less than 710 euros and respectively 1210 euros for two people. Let us remind AKEL that low pensions have increased by more than 140% in recent years. Averoff presented a specific proposal for low pensioners, as he did for the Solidarity Fund with the proposal to boost its resources by 60 million euros every year, through the allocation of revenues earned by the state from the special tax on bank deposits."
"So at the time when both Mr. Mavroyiannis and Mr. Christodoulides are resorting to rampant parochialism, Averof Neophytou is the only one who proposes tangible solutions for solving issues that concern both the low pensioners and those who have had their hair cut," he concluded.
