Campaign in Saxony - Scholz promises stable pension level for decades
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) will secure pensions in Germany for the long term. We will bring a law that ensures "a stable pension level in Germany for the next decades," he said at the campaign kickoff of the Saxon Social Democrats in Dresden. "They deserve it, those who have worked and paid into it for decades." A stable pension level is not a welfare, but a necessary guarantee of the welfare state.
Decisions regarding Ukraine must always be made with reason
Scholz assured Ukraine in its fight against Russia further support. "At the same time, we will do everything to prevent this war from escalating into a war between Russia and NATO." We will always make decisions with reason - that's why I didn't give in to every wish. "We won't fulfill all the wishes, such as launching our own rockets and planes, or sending soldiers there. The support for Ukraine will come in other ways."
Scholz wants a strong SPD in the Landtag
The Chancellor also entered the election campaign in Saxony. "A good government in Saxony only exists with a coalition government. And a good government in Saxony only exists with a strong social democratic party in the next Landtag." In Saxony, a new Landtag will be elected on September 1. According to current polls, the current coalition of CDU, Greens, and SPD no longer has a majority. Greens and SPD have to worry about re-entry into the Landtag.
