Berlin (dpa -AfX) – According to Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), a fixed basic pension is not possible in Germany. “I would and want to be honest so, nobody in Germany,” said the SPD candidate for Chancellor in a discussion round of ProSieben and Sat.1. “That’s why we have to do what we did,” said Scholz. “Ordinary wages – where this was not the case in the past, make an increase possible with the basic pension for the pension that is too low due to the low wages.”
Both AfD Chancellor Alice Weidel and Greens Chancellor candidate Robert Habeck spoke out for a minimum pension that increases with inflation.
Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz had canceled the TV round due to time constraints. In the show, selected citizens were able to ask politicians in a kind of speed dating for three minutes ./cab/dp/jha
