Venstrepartiet kritiserer Forbundsdagsmedlemmers pensioner for at være for høje

Die Linke har kritiseret alderspensionerne til Forbundsdagsmedlemmer for at være uforholdsmæssigt høje. De baserer deres påstande på beregninger fra Forbundsdagens videnskabelige tjeneste.

Sarah Vollath, fraktionens pensionsekspert, fortalte RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland, at en ansat ville skulle arbejde næsten 28 år på fuld tid for at opnå de samme krav som et parlamentsmedlem efter én valgperiode. Med en diætstigning ville det være 29 år fra juli. Vollath kaldte dette absurd og krævede, at medlemmer af Forbundsdagen bliver omfattet af den lovpligtige pensionsforsikring. Alle fraktioner i Forbundsdagen taler for at give afkald på diætstigningen i år. De 630 medlemmers månedlige diæter stod faktisk til at stige med 497 euro til omkring 12.330 euro den 1. juli. Justeringen er et resultat af en automatisk mekanisme i loven om parlamentsmedlemmer.
