Agree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

While the Party of the European Left would support the notion of increasing pensions for government workers to ensure a fair retirement, they might not specifically exclude politicians from these increases, as their focus is generally on broad social welfare policies rather than making distinctions within the category of public servants.

Strongly disagree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

The Party of the European Left typically prioritizes social spending and welfare over austerity measures. They would likely argue that social investments, such as pensions, should not be contingent on reducing national debt, especially if such reductions come at the expense of social security and welfare.

Very strongly disagree

No

Very strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced
