  • The pension plans proposed by Minister Bärbel Bas are deemed unfeasible by Chief of the Chancellery Thorsten Frei.

  • Frei highlighted that the inclusion of civil servants in the pension system is not addressed in the coalition agreement.
  • "That is not common sense in the coalition."— Thorsten Frei (CDU) commented on Bärbel Bas's pension plans in ARD.
  • He criticized the financial viability of the plan, pointing out the significant decrease in the ratio of workers to retirees.
