The news about the payment of bonuses to pensioners created long queues at the counters, but the pensioners themselves say that this much money is not enough for anything.

“They are not enough for us, but what can we do, medicines, here let me tell you, I’m going straight to the pharmacy after this, I had to get a valve,’ said a senior citizen.

“What is 5 thousand ALL, I can’t even eat dinner with this. You can’t even buy a turkey for 5,000 ALL,” said another citizen.

Due to low incomes, pensioners are the most affected category by the recent price increases. This year-end bonus will be allocated to 695,000 pensioners.
