The discussion about the federal budget for 2025 is in full swing, and the concerns of the citizens about the effects on the social sector are getting louder. Michaela Engelmeier, the CEO of the Social Association of Germany (SOVD), urgently warned of the possible consequences of savings in the social sector. It emphasizes that it is high time to implement the promise of the coalition in order to enable citizens to live safe.
urgent need for action on central topics
Engelmeier emphasizes that the areas of pension, health and care in particular need urgent attention. With demographic change, Germany faces significant challenges, and steps are quickly necessary to ensure social security in the long term. "People have to be able to trust in living even in old age without fear of poverty," she explains. It calls for a rapid advance when introducing the second pension package and optimizing health care, which affects both outpatient and inpatient facilities.
dangers of political disagreement
The confused discussion about savings measures and the unclear financing of the Federal Balance not only lead to uncertainty among the population, but also endanger social cohesion. Engelmeier appeals to those responsible for acting and finding solutions that do not go at the expense of social security networks. "The people in Germany expect their government to present a household that ensures the existence of important social programs," she continues.
Practical solutions for fair financing
The SOVD CEO also proposes concrete measures to strengthen the income side of the budget. This includes the abolition of the company car privilege, an over -profit tax for companies in times of crisis, an appropriate taxation of rich and reforms in inheritance law. These steps could help secure social achievements and relieve the citizens.
conclusion: responsibility for the future
In times of growing pressure on social systems, it is essential that politics makes responsible decisions. The concerns of the citizens must be taken seriously, and it is of central importance to create a reliable federal budget that sets the course for a social and just future.
