Rising Social Security Contributions Prompted by Hagel, with Reforms Advocated
CDU Chairman in Baden-Württemberg, Manuel Hagel, Advocates for Flexible Retirement Age and Comprehensive Reforms
Manuel Hagel, the CDU chairman in Baden-Württemberg, has expressed his views on the planned mother's pension and Germany's social security systems during an interview. Hagel, who has been vocal about the need for change, believes that the retirement age should be made more flexible to accommodate different professions.
In the debate on the retirement age, Hagel emphasizes the need for consideration of a flexibilization. He warns that payroll taxes, essentially a punitive tax on honest work, are dangerous and unsustainable. Hagel suggests reducing standards and rules as part of the reforms.
Hagel's opinions suggest a need for reforms in Germany's social security contributions and social systems. He criticizes the current design of state benefits, stating that they make the state dysfunctional at almost every level. Hagel advocates for an Agenda 2030 as part of a comprehensive reform agenda, although it's unclear whether he's referring to a specific implementation date or his own proposed plan.
The CDU's coalition in Germany is not threatened despite the dispute over the mother's pension. The debate on the retirement age in Germany involves arguments about the physical limitations of certain professions.
In addition to his stance on the retirement age, Hagel has criticized the current developments in social security contributions in Germany. He has proposed reform measures including establishing a security council for Baden-Württemberg, enhancing cooperation between schools and the Bundeswehr for political education, strengthening the military and defense industry, expanding police drone defense capabilities, and opposing the EU's planned ban on combustion engine cars by 2035, which he calls for postponement. There is no specific mention of an 'Agenda 2030' or its implementation date in his proposals.
Hagel's opinions on the planned mother's pension are not in line with the current plans. He states that whether the planned mother's pension is the right time is worth discussing. In the interview, Hagel finds the planned mother's pension worth discussing, expressing doubts about its implementation.
Hagel's views reflect a growing concern among many Germans about the sustainability of the current social systems and the need for significant changes. As the debate on the retirement age and social security contributions continues, Hagel's stance is likely to influence the discussions and potentially shape the future of Germany's social systems.
