The Union – the coalition between the Christians Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU) – will likely present a joint programme to govern Germany, which will include pension policies, at the end of June or beginning of July, a spokesperson for the CDU told IPE.
The CDU and the CSU are currently cooperating to design “specific proposals” to build a “future-proof” social security system, the spokesperson added.
Armin Laschet, the Chancellor nominee for the CDU and prime minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, has recently floated the idea of a second Pension Commission – Rentenkommission – to find a “large social consensus” to reform the country’s pension system with a long-term view over the next 10-15 years.
