Germany
In Germany, Bundestag deputies receive a pension after four years equivalent to an average worker's 28 years of contributions. Parliamentary salaries are currently 11,800 euros per month, with a planned, now frozen, increase to 12,300 euros. Sarah Fallat criticizes the pension system.
The claims regarding Bundestag deputies' pensions and salaries were evaluated using web evidence. For the pension disparity, evidence does not directly confirm the four-year equivalency claim. The current monthly salary for Bundestag members is approximately 11,833 euros, matching available evidence. The increase to 12,300 euros was confirmed and is scheduled for July 2026. No evidence supports the claim that this increase was frozen. Overall, the claim about Sarah Fallat criticising the pension discrepancy is unverified.
