Bundesfinanzminister Christian Lindner erwägt die Streichung der Mütterrente, was sich negativ auf die Renten von rund neun Millionen Frauen in Deutschland auswirken würde. Die WerteUnion, vertreten durch Sylvia Pantel, hält dies für einen Skandal und betont die Bedeutung der Anerkennung von Erziehungsleistungen. Die Mütterrente wurde 2014 eingeführt, um Frauen im Alter eine angemessene Absicherung zu bieten und das Armutsrisiko zu verringern. Eine Studie des DIW zeigt, dass die Mütterrente insbesondere Frauen mit mittleren und niedrigen Einkommen unterstützt. Die WerteUnion setzt sich für die finanzielle und soziale Unterstützung von Eltern ein und tritt für deren Mitspracherecht in Bildungseinrichtungen ein. Finanzminister Lindners Fokus wird kritisiert, da die Fachkräfte und die demografische Entwicklung in Deutschland gefährdet sind. Die WerteUnion steht bei den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen, Thüringen und Brandenburg zur Wahl. Besuchen Sie www.werteunion.de für weitere Informationen.

Value union: finger away from the mother's pension

In a current discussion about possible cuts in the mother's pension, the state chairman North Rhine -Westphalia of the Value Union, Sylvia Pantel, expressed a clear criticism. Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner is thinking about deleting the mother's pension, which, according to a study by the German Institute for Economy (DIW), would affect around nine million women in Germany.

The mother's pension was introduced in 2014 by the grand coalition at the time in order to offer women in old age in old age and to recognize the educational performance. Sylvia Pantel emphasizes the two advantages of the mother's pension: she enhances the educational performance of mothers and fathers and reduces the risk of poverty in old age, especially for women.

The study author Annica Gehlen from DIW warns of the financial consequences of deleting the mother's pension. Women with medium and low incomes in particular would be affected. Women aged 65 and over have an increased risk of poverty that would continue to rise without a mother's pension.

Sylvia Pantel points out that a cancellation of the mother's pension would not only be legally questionable, but also have negative financial effects. She criticizes the prioritization of the finance minister and asks where the specialists should come from if it is becoming more and more difficult for young people to choose their own children. The financial support of parents and their say in educational and educational institutions are important concerns of the value union.

The union of values ​​pursues a policy of measure and center and is committed to a constitutional and democratic Germany. In the upcoming state elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, the party starts election for the first time and emphasizes the importance of the family and the decision for children.
