For the people in this forum who were thinking that their government was not treating them well, here are the plans for the PENSION from the new Flemish Government.
(Translated by Google from Dutch).
 

1️⃣ a "pension malus", this is a permanent expropriation of your accrued pension rights if you stop before the age of 66 – and soon 67 – without having worked enough years effectively;
2️⃣ a new interpretation of "the career years", which means that most people will lose a year or more;
3️⃣ a complete abolition of the scheme for heavy professions in the private sector (the SWT will disappear after 35 years of work in a heavy profession) and a major dismantling of the scheme for heavy professions in the public sector (police, fire brigade, postmen, teachers will have to work for at least 41 years before they can take early retirement – if they do so after those 41 years, they will also lose a portion of their pension).
4️⃣ "the malus": up to 25 percent of your pension lost through the expropriation of your accrued rights;
5️⃣ a structural reduction of the civil servant pension, via the calculation at 45 years instead of the last 10 years: civil servants lose approximately 20 percent of their pension;
6️⃣ all periods of technical unemployment and SWT to be calculated on the basis of a limited fictitious salary.
The equalizations for "landing paths", which should make working longer more feasible, are also being limited or even abolished 🤦‍♂️.
The survivor's pension, which offers a safety net to the surviving spouse over the age of 50, is disappearing.
The same applies to the divorce pension and the family pension.

"Everyone for themselves", is the logic.
The Arizona coalition also seems to want to cut the minimum pension.

This will now be calculated on the basis of "effective work performance".
How exactly this will happen is not explained further.
