Political positions

Since his time as Federal Chairman of the Young Liberals, Vogel has represented a holistic liberalism that also takes social issues into account. During his tenure in office, the Young Liberals in the FDP particularly campaigned for a strengthening of civil rights and fought for this course at FDP federal party conferences, in some cases successfully (demand for the large eavesdropping to be withdrawn). In the course of the 2009 Bundestag election campaign, Vogel spoke out in particular against Internet blocking and data retention.

Johannes Vogel is promoting a new agenda in labor market policy, which emphasizes the opportunities of digitization for more self-determination and more diverse CVs. In March 2018, he submitted a draft law for the FDP parliamentary group to make the Working Hours Act more flexible. Vogel also calls for a welfare state with more opportunities for advancement and, for example, a reform of the additional earnings limits for unemployment benefit II. In 2016, the federal party congress of the FDP decided on a pension concept that was largely developed by Vogel. He calls for a flexible retirement age based on the Swedish model and an intergenerational pension system.

In addition, he worked as the responsible politician in the introduction of the Blue Card and called for its completion in an immigration law with a point system based on the Canadian model.
