Preserve social insurance, end separate politician pensions
The AfD wants to preserve and strengthen the social insurance systems and the statutory pension with its pay-as-you-go contract between generations. Parents are to pay lower pension contributions and caregivers are to get more support. Career politicians should pay into the statutory pension or professional pension funds instead of receiving a separate pension.
The AfD wants to keep the public pension system. Parents should pay lower pension contributions. People who care for relatives should get more help. Politicians should pay into the pension system like everyone else. The AfD rejects an extra pension for politicians.
The platform sees the social insurance systems pushed to their limits by demographic change, growing poverty, expanded benefits and immigration. As relief, the AfD names less red tape, efficiency gains and paying for non-insurance benefits out of taxes. The funds should not serve as a financial reserve for politicians, and burdens should not be shifted onto future generations. The party justifies relief for parents with their work in raising children. Further family benefits are first to be checked for affordability and legal feasibility.
