Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Supporting low-income pensioners aligns with the CSU's social welfare objectives, demonstrating a targeted approach to pension increases that also reflects fiscal responsibility.

Agree

Yes

Slightly agree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

While the CSU may support the idea of increasing pensions for government workers, distinguishing between government workers and politicians might not align perfectly with its policies. The party generally supports measures beneficial to public servants but may not endorse policies that explicitly exclude politicians.

Strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced
