Germany changes the pension system. Experts make new plans. One big point is the pension at age 63. People work for 45 years. Then they stop working early. This costs the state much money. It costs nearly 10 billion euro each year.
Experts want to stop this early pension. The leader Friedrich Merz wants quick changes. The minister Bärbel Bas agrees with him. She says the plan is a unit. Politicians must not change only single parts. But the party has a big fight now. Three leaders from East Germany want no change.
Michael Kretschmer, Sven Schulze and Mario Voigt want the pension at age 63. They say: People work for 45 years. They do enough work. New elections start soon. Bärbel Bas talks with other people now. She says: The party needs a clear plan first. Without a fair deal, no group votes for it.
