  "account": "The Union is hesitant to include German federal parliamentarians in the statutory pension insurance, as proposed by the SPD. The pension commission had recommended including parliamentarians or alternatively implementing an equivalent transfer, said Alexander Hoffmann, leader of the CSU parliamentary group. The Union and SPD have been debating the commission's proposals for weeks, with some aspects still unclear, such as whether to keep the pension after 45 years of contributions without deductions. SPD Secretary General Tim Klüssendorf emphasized that including parliamentarians in the pension insurance is a matter of justice and symbolic importance.",
  "summary": "In the struggle for pension reform, the pensions of members of parliament are also coming into focus. Alexander Hoffmann is slowing down demands from the SPD and is pointing to a complex alternative.",
