Regarding the postponement of pension package II, Hans-Jürgen Urban, board member of IG Metall responsible for social policy, says: “The blockade policy of the FDP is irresponsible. Employees expect security and commitment from politics. Procrastination and party tactics on elementary social issues such as pensions destroy all trust. “
Urban on the FDP Presidium’s decision on the “five-point paper”: “The FDP denigrates the life achievements of people who have worked for many years. With ever-increasing demands for social cuts, they are demonstrating suspicion and ignorance. The ‘pension at 63’, which the FDP is fighting against, does exist “If you want to deny retirement to people who have been insured for a long time, you’re just setting generations against each other.”
