Minimum pension of 1,500 euros and a higher pension level

The BSW wants to expand the statutory pension so that it secures people's standard of living and protects against old-age poverty. It calls for a minimum pension, tax-free pensions up to 2,000 euros and a much higher pension level; it rejects a later retirement age.

People who paid in for 40 years should get at least 1,500 euros in pension. Pensions up to 2,000 euros should be tax-free. Pensions should be higher overall. The retirement age should not rise further.

Raise pension level and create a GDR justice fund

The Left wants to raise the federal pension level to 53 percent and create a statutory pension system that everyone pays into. A justice fund would make regular compensation payments to former East German workers. The platform says about 60 percent of pensions in the state were below the poverty line in 2024.

The Left wants higher pensions. The pension level should rise to 53 percent. Everyone should pay into the same pension system. People who worked in East Germany should get compensation payments.
