Preserve village life, shops and bank branches in rural areas
The AfD wants to keep small shops, restaurants, schools and bank branches in rural areas. The aim is equal living conditions across Bavaria. Farmland is to take priority over other land uses, and regional marketing of farm products is to be strengthened.
The AfD wants to strengthen life in villages. Small shops should pay less tax. Restaurants in small towns should get help. Schools and kindergartens should stay open. A bank should always be nearby.
Bakeries, butchers, village shops and farm shops are to pay lower taxes and levies and face less red tape. The AfD calls for a special program for small and mid-sized restaurants in municipalities of up to 6,000 residents. Elementary schools and kindergartens are to stay open even when the number of children drops temporarily. State location subsidies are to ensure at least one bank or savings bank branch within 10 km. Food production is to take priority over energy generation, commercial sites and housing development. The AfD wants to support direct marketing and producer cooperatives with marketing, upgrading their products and purchasing supplies.
