Philipp Türmer, chairman of the Young Socialists in the SPD, conveyed a clear message at the recent federal congress in Mannheim: The debate about pension financing must not lead to a generational conflict. Instead, he calls for greater participation of capital assets in financing the welfare state. This demand comes at a time when the discussion about the stability of pension systems in Germany is becoming increasingly intense.
Türmer argues that older people’s pensions, which average around 1,300 euros, do not represent the main threat to the system. Rather, he sees the danger in the inadequate taxation of large capital assets. In his opinion, these assets do not contribute sufficiently to financing the welfare state, which could endanger its stability in the long term.
Türmer clarified his position with a striking comparison: While older generations are often portrayed as a burden, large inheritances remain virtually untouched for tax purposes. He emphasizes that it is unfair to focus on grandparents’ pensions while inheritances worth billions are hardly taxed. This inequality in financial responsibility must be urgently addressed.
Türmer’s appeal is aimed at politicians to direct the discussion about the financing of the welfare state towards a fairer distribution of the burden. He sees this as a decisive step towards sustainably securing the future of the welfare state for all generations. This demand could also become more important in the broader political debate about social justice and economic fairness.
