DISY president discusses pension reform with PASYDY

On September 30, 2026, the President of the Democratic Rally (DISY), Annita Dimitriou, met with the leadership of the Pancyprian Union of Civil Servants (PASYDY) to discuss the government's proposed pension reforms. The meeting was part of an ongoing series of consultations between the political party and social partners.

Dimitriou stated that significant disagreements and conflicting approaches regarding the reform persist, primarily due to a lack of clear answers from the government on critical issues. She emphasized that the party advocates for a holistic approach that ensures the long-term viability of the Social Insurance Fund without requiring increased contributions or raising the mandatory retirement age beyond 65. The party is seeking a transparent, constructive dialogue to achieve maximum consensus before the reform proceeds.

DISY continues to hold meetings with various stakeholders to clarify its position and demand substantive information from the government. The party remains firm on its specific requirements, maintaining that the reform must provide relief to pensioners while upholding existing institutional standards.
