Landtagswahlen: Stimmen aus SPD und CDU fordern Änderungen am Reformkurs
Wie kann es nach den Landtagswahlen mit dem Reformkurs der Bundesregierung weitergehen? Führende Politikerinnen und Politiker fordern deutliche Korrekturen.
Following the recent Landtagswahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin, the SPD's deputy leader, Anke Rehlinger, has called for significant changes to the reform policies of the black-red federal government. Speaking after the elections to the Deutschlandfunk, the Saarland Minister-President emphasized that the state requires better and socially equitable reforms.
She argued that many of the proposed reforms are essentially nothing more than cost-cutting measures, and she strongly advocated for transforming the current proposals into genuine reforms. Rehlinger stressed the importance of letting the public know what the end results will be, improving their lives.
The SPD leader reiterated her criticism of the planned reduction of the pension for individuals who have contributed for 63 years but have only received benefits for 45. She insisted that the pension package should not be completely scrapped. "However, the lack of respect demonstrated by this proposal must be removed from this package," she stated.
She echoed similar sentiments regarding the planned care reform, asserting that a change is needed at that point to ensure acceptance for other necessary reforms, not just well-intentioned messages. "This must now be understood in Berlin."
