What do the parties in Saarland say on 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 CDU wants a retirement system that is fair to both women and men. It should strengthen women's economic independence and fit the way women's working lives typically unfold.

Many women get a small pension when they are old. The CDU wants to change that. Pensions should fit women's lives better. Women should be able to support themselves.

The SPD wants no further drop in the pension level and rejects raising the retirement age. The statutory pension is to be securely funded and strengthened so that people can live well on it after a working life.

The SPD wants pensions to stop falling. Nobody should have to work longer than today. The public pension should be paid for securely. People who worked a long time should live well in old age.
