Thousands of pensioners facing sorry plight

Carmel Cauchi (Pensioners Below The Poverty Line, September 26) is not alone in drawing the Prime Minister's attention to the sorry plight of thousands of pensioners.

The Alliance of Pensioners' Associations has once again insisted with the government that as from January the national minimum pension should not be less than 60 per cent of the median income. This would ensure that the 16.3 per cent of pensioners at risk of poverty (NSO figures, not ours) would seize to be at such risk.

We hope that our reasoned pleas will not again fall on deaf ears.
