Voting Events - Wagenknecht advocates for pension changes.

Sahra Wagenknecht, the head of Germany's Left Party, has urged for a complete overhaul of the country's pension system. She pointed out that individuals in Austria, who are insured for the long term, receive more payment than German pensioners. Wagenknecht mentioned this during a rally in Magdeburg, encouraging contributions from all walks of life: civil servants, self-employed people, and politicians. The contribution rates in Austria have remained high for a long time (18.6%) as opposed to Germany (22.8%).

Furthermore, Wagenknecht lashed out at the German government, accusing them of failing to implement an energy policy and stopping arms deliveries to Ukraine. The political leader expressed her thoughts that the situation in Ukraine has not improved, despite the provision of tanks. "Weapons do not bring an end to conflicts; negotiations do," she stressed.

Trending: Wagenknecht was pleased that BSW's top candidate for the European election, Fabio De Masi, was scheduled to appear on an ARD election show on Thursday. This announcement was made by the North Rhine-Westphalian Administrative Court (OVG) on Wednesday. The verdict was established because a larger number of people attend BSW events compared to those of other parties, and their polling shows favorable results. The court believes that such success increases the chances of the party winning elections, surpassing other contenders like the FDP and the Left Party.
