  • PASOK-KINAL leader Nikos Androulakis responded to Prime Minister Mitsotakis's question about the cost of a 13th pension.
  • Androulakis posted a TikTok video using a popular trend to address the fiscal cost, accusing Mitsotakis of seeking excuses not to implement the policy.
  • The PASOK leader stated he had already presented the party's proposals for pensioners, including the 13th pension, with a timeline and cost.

Nikos Androulakis, leader of PASOK-KINAL, has responded to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's inquiries regarding the financial implications of reinstating a 13th pension. Androulakis took to TikTok, utilizing a popular trend, to address the fiscal cost, suggesting Mitsotakis is using the question as a pretext to avoid implementing the policy.

During a parliamentary debate on the rising cost of living, Mitsotakis had pressed Androulakis on the cost of the proposed 13th pension. Androulakis countered by accusing the prime minister of either missing the point or fabricating excuses. He asserted that PASOK had already clearly outlined its proposals for pensioners, including the 13th pension, detailing the timeline and financial commitment.

Mr. Mitsotakis seems to have missed the episode or is rather looking for excuses to hide that he will never give the 13th pension.

Androulakis's social media response, framed within the #netflixdocumentary trend, aimed to highlight his party's concrete plans. He emphasized that PASOK had not only presented its proposals but also specified the implementation schedule and the associated costs. This move positions PASOK as a party with a clear and costed agenda for pensioners, contrasting with what Androulakis portrays as the government's reluctance to commit to such measures.

Mr. Androulakis not only presented the party's proposals for pensioners but also explicitly stated the implementation timeline and cost, including the 13th pension.
