A political conflict has arisen in Greece regarding the proposed 13th pension, initiated by the opposition party PASOK and its leader, Nikos Androulakis. During a parliamentary session, Androulakis raised concerns about the rising cost of living and pressed Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the feasibility of implementing the 13th pension, which he suggested could help alleviate financial pressure on citizens.

In response, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis challenged Androulakis’ assertions, questioning the financial implications outlined by PASOK. Marinakis invited the opposition to formally submit a legislative proposal for the 13th pension, stating that it should be costed by the General Accounting Office of the State. He further asserted that the financial burden of the proposed pension would be approximately €2.5 billion, disputing PASOK’s estimate of €450 million offered by Androulakis. This disagreement has escalated into a series of public exchanges highlighting the opposing views of the ruling New Democracy party and the opposition on economic relief measures for pensioners.
