Pensioners in Greece are organizing large-scale nationwide protests through the Panhellenic Association of Retirees. The mobilization responds to policies involving cuts to economic, social, and health rights, as well as the rising costs of food, fuel, and energy.

Protesters argue that these economic pressures have reduced pensions to subsistence levels. Key grievances include the burden of taxation, fiscal stability measures mandated by the European Union, and recent court decisions concerning widow pensions and the status of the 13th and 14th pension payments.
