Raise pension level to 55 percent, no higher retirement age
The Free Voters reject a higher retirement age, pension cuts and the retroactive taxation of pensions. The pension level is to rise back to 55 percent using tax money, while contributions stay at 20 percent at most.
The Free Voters want higher pensions. The money should come from taxes. Nobody should have to work longer than today. After 40 years of work, people should retire without deductions.
After 40 contribution years, retirement is to be possible without deductions. For the Mütterrente (mothers' pension), children born before 1992 are to count in full. Benefits unrelated to insurance are no longer to be paid from the pension fund. The program calls for pension fairness for ethnic German resettlers and wants to strengthen home ownership as a fourth pillar of retirement provision. Modern housing forms such as multigenerational homes are to be funded for older people, and age discrimination is rejected.
