Retired workers across Crete gathered at the Agora square in Chania for a coordinated demonstration organized by SEA (Cooperating Pensioners Organizations), calling on authorities to address what they describe as urgent issues affecting retirees island-wide.

No disruption to transport or major tourist sites was reported in connection with this event.
