Our View: Pensioners deserve fairer treatment, not political agendas

The Union of Cyprus Pensioners (Ekysy) held its annual conference on Thursday morning before staging a demonstration outside the finance ministry to push their demand for more support from the state. Ekysy represents the poor, second-class pensioners as opposed to the well-off, first-class pensioners of the public service, many who collect monthly pensions that are more than twice as high as the median wage. The latter, despite their strong sense of entitlement, did not participate in Thursday’s demonstration.
