CSU calls for the pension without deductions after 45 years to be restricted to hardship cases

CSU regional group leader Alexander Hoffmann insists that the pension without deductions after 45 years of contributions should only be allowed in cases of hardship and rejects a general regulation. The coalition is discussing increasing the contribution years to up to 47 years and shortening the recognition of parental leave. SPD politician Alexander Schweitzer rejects any abolition of the regulation and emphasizes performance equity as part of the generational contract. Federal Minister of Economics Katherina Reiche supports the full implementation of the Pension Commission's 33 recommendations, including opening up the capital market for retirement provision.
