Interview: „Früher oder später muss die abschlagsfreie Rente ohnehin abgeschafft werden“
Die Rentenkommission möchte die abschlagsfreie Rente nach 45 Beitragsjahren streichen. Nur ein Vorschlag unter vielen und damit verzichtbar? Keineswegs, sagt Constanze Janda, die Co-Vorsitzende des Gremiums.
Mrs. Janda, when discussing the dismantling of the pension reform plan proposed by the Pension Commission, acknowledges the grueling nights and overtime put in by her as co-chair. While she understands that debates will arise, she finds it disheartening that policymakers overlook the reasons behind the proposal. She criticizes the approach of leaving certain aspects unchanged due to public discontent, deeming it unreflective.
She emphasizes the importance of eliminating the zero-contribution pension after 45 years of contributions, explaining that the number of contribution years does not determine when a policyholder can retire, but rather influences the amount of pension received. Her primary argument is that the zero-contribution pension after 45 years does not benefit those it was intended for.
