Axel Mende, Parliament candidate of the party that says left from the District of Dachau: From the press release of the Group was unaware that extent to which the increasing loss of the purchasing power of citizens and increasing poverty affect also the business of insurance. What the German retail 2010 experience since adoption of the agenda, the customers purchase dispensing, the shrinkage of the domestic economy, will also soon recognizes the German insurance. More and more people who have to give up their life insurance, loss of unemployment in the case or Maturity by means of the Hartz IV instrument be ousted, and see no sense in insurance contracts. This instrument of raising capital will be lost of the financial world to a greater extent. Against Hartz IV and long-term unemployment there is no offer of Insurance Group Munich Re. Each worker is away time only 12 months of the ALG II and saves some insurance for this reason. Once again there is quite clear that the right of citizens to social protection, reliability and predictability of planning your life with feet is performed. On the part of the large corporations this inhuman policy in favour of profit maximization is brutally pulled through and includes also the Munich Re. V.i.S.d.P.
