Der neue Bundesarbeitsminister Alexander Schweitzer strebt im Streit über die abschlagsfreie Frührente nach 45 Beitragsjahren einen "guten Kompromiss" an. Er habe Kanzler Friedrich Merz zugesichert, zügig und gründlich zu arbeiten, sagte der SPD-Politiker der Zeitung Rheinpfalz.

Die Vorschläge der Rentenkommission sehen vor, die sogenannte "Rente mit 63" abzuschaffen. Schweitzer, der am Mittwoch als Minister vereidigt wurde, hatte sich im August gegen die Abschaffung ausgesprochen.

Er betonte nun, dass Schwarz-Rot sich im Koalitionsvertrag darauf geeinigt habe, die abschlagsfreie Rente nach 45 Beitragsjahren grundsätzlich beizubehalten.

Rentenkommission schlägt Ende der "Rente mit 63" vor

Die von der Bundesregierung eingesetzte Rentenkommission hatte im Juni 33 Vorschläge für eine umfassende Rentenreform vorgelegt, darunter die Abschaffung der abschlagsfreien Rente nach 45 Versicherungsjahren.

Dagegen gibt es schon länger Widerstand in der SPD. Allerdings hatten sich auch die drei ostdeutschen CDU-Ministerpräsidenten Sven Schulze, Michael Kretschmer und Mario Voigt gegen die Pläne gestellt.

Angesprochen auf die Aussage seiner Vorgängerin Bärbel Bas, die Rentenvorschläge seien ein Gesamtkunstwerk, sagte Schweitzer, auf ihrer Grundlage "dürfen und müssen politische Debatten stattfinden".

Federal politics: Hoffmann against including politicians in pension insurance

The CSU regional group leader Alexander Hoffmann speaks out against the inclusion of MPs in the statutory pension insurance and argues that this would not solve the problem of the statutory pension and would lead to a long-term coexistence of several systems. The Federal Government Commission on Pension Reform, however, recommends that the self-employed and members of parliament be included in statutory pension insurance, which is supported by the SPD, while there are debates within the coalition about implementation.

How federal politicians perform on social media

An analysis shows that the AfD and the Left receive a disproportionate number of views on TikTok and Instagram, even though they only received around a third of the votes in the federal election. The algorithms reward particularly polarizing and attack-oriented content. Chancellor Merz and Minister Wadephul also benefit from their official positions or entertaining content, while other ministers such as Hubertz, Reiche or Schneider hardly achieve any reach.

UK Green Party: Are the British Greens falling apart over the issue of Israel?

The British Green Party adopted a motion at its party conference in October that defines Zionism as a form of racism and officially sets the party on an anti-Zionist course. The decision has led to internal tensions, including criticism from Jewish members, a possible exit consideration by the head of the Jewish Green Party and disunity within the leadership team. Prime Minister Andy Burnham was critical and the UK Equality Authority is investigating possible breaches of the Equality Act.
