Article:
A Formal Appeal for Pension Justice
A formal request has been submitted to Iran’s highest executive and legislative authorities, urging immediate action to address the pressing economic challenges faced by the nation’s retirees. The appeal, directed to President Dr. Peymanand, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and the Head of the Plan and Budget Organization, Mr. Pormohammadi, calls for a significant pension adjustment for the upcoming Iranian year.
The Core Demand: A 70% Increase
The central plea of the request is clear: to secure a minimum 70% increase in pensions for the year 1405. The document underscores the severe financial hardship experienced by a majority of retirees, stating that their current pensions are insufficient in the face of rising living costs. It describes a situation where many retirees are struggling to afford basic necessities, including essential medical treatments for themselves and their families.
Addressing Systemic Concerns
Beyond the specific call for a pension hike, the appeal also voices dissatisfaction with the performance of the country’s pension fund over the past decade. It argues that the fund has failed to act as a true guardian for retirees, citing specific issues with complementary health insurance as a primary area of concern that has negatively impacted their welfare.
The request concludes with the hope that the proposed 70% increase would alleviate a significant portion of the difficulties and suffering endured by the retiree community, marking a crucial step toward improving their quality of life.
