The search results do not provide specific details about the ongoing controversy surrounding the proposed "Boomer-Soli" pension special levy in Saarbrücken, nor the official stance of the CDU Senior Union on the matter. However, based on general knowledge, the "Boomer-Soli" refers to a special pension levy proposed or applied in Germany, often perceived as targeting the baby boomer generation to finance pension reforms.
The CDU Senior Union, a group representing older members affiliated with the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) party, typically advocates for the interests of seniors and retirees. In the current debate, the organization views the "Boomer-Soli" discussion as a targeted burden on older generations. They perceive the planned special taxation, even with allowances provided, as an injustice.
The Senior Union of the CDU Saar has expressed opposition to the "Boomer-Soli" currently under discussion. They see this not only as misunderstood solidarity but a dangerous development that undermines trust in the reliability of the pension system. Intergenerational fairness is considered important in the discussion by the CDU-Seniors.
Manfred Maurer, state chairman of the CDU-Seniors Saar, stated that those who have worked and paid into the pension system all their lives can rely on appropriate and reliable benefits in old age. He further criticized the proposed special levy on pensions and pension payments as system-foreign, unfair, and constitutionally questionable.
The CDU-Seniors emphasize the need for structural reforms with balance and justice for all, young and old. They deem a future-proof reform necessary, and believe that old-age poverty cannot be solved through new special levies. Ensuring reliability and predictability is indispensable, as stated by the CDU-Seniors. A societal consensus is necessary, according to the organisation, before implementing such reforms.
