It’s rather easy to understand why that is, though. Just look at what happens in many other countries when politicians dare to fuck with the pensions. They have a general strike on their hands. What happens in Germany? Fuck all, except for some hot air being produced by someone nobody listens to anyway.
Yea, the debate it is a shame. They come up with countries with more years of labor before pension, but don’t tell you that these countries have like 70% pension level.
Living costs keep on rising, taxes increase and you cannot save for your retirement, but you should work longer for less (<50%).
I cannot understand why people aren’t furiously taking that to the street (on the other hand the majority of voters are pensioners, which vastly still have good conditions).
