Karina Moessbauer reconstructed that Bärbel Bas said in the Bundestag on September 11 that the coalition must implement the pension reform within this legislative term. This caused dissatisfaction within the Union faction, which was pressing for swift action. Christian von Stetten sharply criticized Bas on the same evening, accusing her of blocking urgently needed reforms for months. Moessbauer wrote that the members of parliament were not aware of Bas' difficult personal situation at that time. Even when she questioned Hendrik Wüst about it on September 24, neither she nor Wüst knew about it. Wüst advocated that Bas should present a draft law so that the matter could be discussed and progress could be made. She expressed understanding that Bas had only shared her personal drama with a small circle, which included Friedrich Merz, among others. However, in her assessment, the accusation that the demands were inhumane given her situation does not apply to a large part of the statements. Most representatives of the Union only learned of the situation last week due to Bas’ absence from the coalition committee meeting on Wednesday. At the same time, according to Moessbauer, the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs must also be set up in such a way that important projects continue to be processed, even in such exceptional circumstances. #BärbelBas #Rentenreform #Bundestag (translated)
