Florian Dorn named deputy chair of Germany’s pivotal pensions commission
The CSU has chosen Florian Dorn to serve as deputy chairman of the government’s upcoming pensions commission. The 39-year-old economist and Bundestag member brings expertise in financial research to the role. His appointment follows recent party debates over pension reforms and representation for younger lawmakers.
Dorn entered politics after working as a personal advisor to Clemens Fuest, president of the ifo Institute for Economic Research. He joined the Junge Union (JU) in 2007 and has remained closely tied to the organisation. Though aligned with the JU, he is not part of its Junge Gruppe faction, making him a compromise pick for the CSU.
The pensions commission is set to begin work with Dorn as one of its deputy chairs. His financial research experience and JU ties will shape his contributions to the group. The commission’s findings will influence future finance policy decisions in Germany.
