The mothers’ pension is a benefit from the statutory pension insurance for mothers of children born before 1992. Reichhart argues that the increase is not financially viable and places a particular burden on the younger generation. The CSU politician thus opposes the plans of his own party and the coalition.
The debate over the mothers’ pension is controversial within the Union. While the CSU traditionally advocates for a higher valuation of childcare, budget politicians warn of long-term costs. Reichhart emphasizes that contributors must not be overburdened.
