CDU social wing calls for compromise on pension reform by August

Dissatisfaction with the proposals from the black-red coalition to abolish the 'pension at 63' is growing. CDA Vice Bäumler has urged Chancellor Merz to quickly find a compromise with the Minister Presidents. The demand emphasizes the urgency of reaching an agreement this month in August.

According to a survey, a majority of respondents oppose the elimination of early retirement. The CDU social wing highlights the debate over possible exceptions for hard workers. This could become a central issue in the ongoing discussions about pension reform.
