“Stabilizing pension levels only temporarily slows the decline in pensions. That’s better than nothing. But the level remains too low, and this safety net has a short expiration date. The coalition must absolutely build on this first sign of reliability: toward a permanently stable and adequate statutory pension as the most important pillar of retirement security. To ensure a fair pension, we must also set the course toward employment insurance for all. The minister’s statements offer hope in this regard.”
