- Anke Rehlinger, Saarland’s minister-president, opposes the planned abolition and says a new rule should not apply to people who planned differently.
- As a compromise, Rehlinger offers Söder concessions on the mini-job rule in return for a pension for long-term contributors based more on contribution years than age.
- CDU lawmaker Pascal Reddig warns against selective changes to the reform package; according to him, an unreduced pension after 45 contribution years costs about 13 billion euros annually.
- CSU leader Markus Söder warns that reopening the package could cause the entire pension reform to fail and calls for a long-term response to demographic change.
