Alexander Steffen wrote that the JU leader Winkel wants to grant basic security only to people who have contributed beforehand, in order to prevent immigration into the social systems. He explained that the first contradiction to this did not come from the Left or the SPD, but from CDU politicians. He described the Union as "programmatically insolvent." https://t.co/0kfrukLjvY #Sozialpolitik #Zuwanderung #CDU (translated)

Lexa wrote that Alice Weidel sharply criticized Friedrich Merz in the Bundestag, accusing him of having squandered a historical opportunity to restore Germany. According to Lexa, Merz left the room while she was speaking. The author claims that Weidel accused the government of propelling deindustrialization through high energy prices, taxes, bureaucracy, and state interventions. Lexa wrote that Merz continued the previous failures in migration and social policy. Weidel presented him with two options: to end collaboration with the SPD and seek bourgeois majorities, or to continue the current course and accept an AfD reform government after the next election. According to Lexa, Merz chose the second path, which described the AfD as ready for a takeover of government. #AfD #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

René Springer, the labor and social policy spokesperson for the AfD faction, expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas and her family after the death of a family member and wished her strength and time to process the loss. The AfD faction has often represented fundamentally different positions in labor and social policy and has had harsh confrontations with Bas. He even demanded her dismissal as Minister and continues to stand by this political assessment, wrote Springer. At the same time, political opposition should not obscure the view of the person behind the office. Bas' decision to withdraw from the front row of politics during this difficult phase of life deserves respect. #Mitgefühl #Politik #Verlust (translated)

The author wrote that, in his opinion, even an immediate implementation of all the demands of the AfD would not prevent harsh austerity measures in social insurance. Their deficits would continue to rise due to aging, and the public is being lied to, he stated. #AfD #Sozialpolitik #Wahrheit #DE (translated)

The author criticized SPD Social Minister Bärbel Bas for not advancing the basic income reform. Although the benefit has been renamed "basic security," Bas is delaying the reform of rental payments for beneficiaries, which, according to him, costs taxpayers almost 18 billion euros each year. The planned exclusion of newly arriving Ukrainians from the benefits has also not yet been implemented, even though it should have been in effect long ago. #Bürgergeld #Sozialpolitik #Reformen (translated)

The share of foreigners among recipients of basic security in old age has increased by 83.3 percent since the end of 2020, while the total number of beneficiaries has risen to a record high of 771,275, indicating a further increase in state support for the elderly in Germany. #Grundsicherung #Alterssicherung #Sozialpolitik (translated)

Our house was built during the GDR era – today we have to protect it from the state. Dear boomers, the Federal Republic of Germany has reached the socialist end stage. Those who pay nothing naturally get everything. And those who finance the whole thing are now supposed to give up their savings or even their house before they get anything from this so-called nursing insurance? What a mockery. My advice: Waste your wealth or give your children the properties "with warm hands." But don't hesitate, because the nursing fund has a 10-year deadline! After that, the property is secure. Fortunately, everything is already in safe hands for us – the house remains in the family, come what may! Did you know about this 10-year deadline?
