The majority parties in the Chamber must jointly propose a host to reform the status of the MPs. The pension becomes less generous and they prune in the retirement fees.
The Arizona parties reform the pensions and limit the unemployment benefits in the time for Jan and Alleman, but the favores of the politicians themselves remained outside. Until now. The majority parties let them know that they agree on a series of « radical reforms » in the parliamentary status. They submit them at the office of the room.

For example, they adjust the parliamentary pension to that of the officials. A pension calculation will happen like that of the officials. Based on an average of the last ten years of wages and no longer on the very last year, which is a lot higher due to indexation. From 2027, one year will be added every year until it also goes on an average over 45 years, as with the rest of the population.
The retirement fees will allow the parties to stand, but they are reduced from two years – depending on how long you were in the room – to a maximum of 1 year. The retirement allowance will also no longer count for the accrual of pension rights. And just as with the highest pensions of the rest of the population, the indexation of parliamentary pensions will be tipped off.
And finally, with effect from 22 May, the Chamber will no longer serve alcohol for the MPs.(AGY)
