Secure infrastructure and local services in rural areas
The AfD wants to strengthen Saarland's rural regions by maintaining and improving infrastructure and digital networks. Services close to where people live are also to be preserved. The platform justifies this with population decline and the loss of services in villages.
The AfD wants to make life in the countryside better. Roads and internet should be good. Doctors, schools and shops should stay nearby. The AfD says villages are missing many things today.
The AfD sees itself as an advocate for rural areas. Good transport links and digital networks are meant to let people commute or work from home. Doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, daycare centers, schools, shops and restaurants should remain available close to home. The party also wants to secure local clubs and associations and provide affordable building and housing options, with priority for historic village centers and buildings worth preserving.
