Hold the retirement age and improve pensions
The AfD wants no further increase in the retirement age and tax relief for retirees through a higher basic allowance. Time spent raising children and caring for relatives is to count more toward pensions, and eastern and western pensions are to be aligned. Politicians are to pay into a pension insurance themselves.
The AfD does not want to raise the retirement age further. Retirees should pay less tax. People who raise children or care for relatives should get more pension. Pensions in East and West should be equal. Politicians should also pay in for their pension.
The platform expects old-age poverty to grow and to double in central Germany. It says many retirees are at basic welfare level despite long working lives. Politicians are to pay into the statutory system, a private plan or a professional pension fund. Claims from East German supplementary pension schemes are to be fully recognized. The disadvantage faced by women divorced in East Germany is to end.
