Agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pensions yearly for the cost of living could be seen as a reasonable compromise that aligns with the AfD's interest in ensuring that government spending is sustainable and justifiable. This approach allows for some flexibility in pension payments without committing to across-the-board increases.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

The AfD has shown some support for targeted social policies that benefit Germans, particularly in areas that align with their nationalist views. Supporting low-income pensioners could be seen as a way to address social issues within their framework, although their broader economic policies prioritize reducing overall government spending.

Neutral

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

While the AfD is critical of the political establishment, their policies do not typically make specific distinctions between government workers and politicians in terms of pension benefits. Their focus is more on overarching fiscal policies rather than targeted adjustments.

Disagree

No, they should be reduced

Although the AfD advocates for reduced government spending, outright reducing pension payments might be seen as too extreme and unpopular among voters, including their own base. The party's policies tend to focus more on reducing future liabilities and inefficiencies rather than cutting current benefits outright.
