EDEK party criticizes political climate following recent elections

The political party EDEK issued a statement expressing concern over what it describes as a lack of seriousness and superficiality in the political landscape following the recent elections. The party argues that the populist tone during the pre-election period prevented the public from properly evaluating its specific policy proposals. Among these proposals was the abolition of the basic pension in favor of a universal, institutionalized social pension for all insured citizens. EDEK claims this model would increase the minimum pension while avoiding additional burdens on public funds. The party characterized these ideas as socialist and implementable, lamenting their rejection by voters. Additionally, the party noted that while elections have concluded, their long-term social consequences remain relevant. In response to broader political tensions, the DISY party defended its record, stating that agreements were reached based on social policy.
