After the integration policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group in the House of Representatives, Gottfried Curio, moved into the German Bundestag via the AfD's state list and resigned from his House of Representatives on October 24, 2017, Tabor moved into the Berlin House of Representatives on October 25, 2017 as his successor .

Political positions

Tabor denounces the amount of pensions for ex-city councilors and former mayors in Berlin as "inappropriate". In 2019, 173 former district office members received pensions, in 2018 this cost a total of 8,452,612 euros. The entitlements are acquired after eight years of office. Among the recipients are people of retirement age, but also significantly younger, the youngest was 38 years old when he left office. “There is no lower age limit,” criticizes Tabor. "It cannot be that someone in their mid-thirties can retire and go for a tax-financed walk." His counter-proposal is a transitional allowance limited to a maximum of one year and payment of the pension only at the statutory retirement age. “In addition, there must be a greater graduation according to working hours. It is impossible for normal employees to acquire such comprehensive insurance claims in such a short time. "

Tabor is committed to more direct democracy and is a founding member of the Jetzt! Direct Democracy eV He is also a full member of the German Parliamentary Society .
