In Austria, people argue about pensions for 2027. Ingrid Korosec and Birgit Gerstorfer represent seniors. They met with minister Korinna Schumann.
The women demand a full match for inflation. This means: Pensions must rise like prices. This keeps the buying power for older people stable.
Currently, the women stop the talks. They do not like the plans from the government. The government wants to save money.
Minister Markus Marterbauer has a plan to save. The rise in pensions shall be low. It shall be 0.25 percent lower than inflation. The state wants to save 280 million Euro in 2027.
The state plans 2.4 billion Euro for pensions. Minister Schumann understands the seniors. But she must watch the money of the state.
Soon there is a new meeting. The women talk to the government leaders. All sides look for a good plan for the future.
