Equal living conditions in town and country
The Free Voters want to develop rural areas on an equal footing with cities. This includes fiber-optic internet for every connection, keeping hospitals and maternity wards, more public transit and secure local supply. Cities are to get enough affordable housing but be densified only moderately.
The Free Voters want rural areas served as well as cities. Every connection should get fast fiber internet. Hospitals and maternity wards should stay everywhere. Buses and trains should get better. Villages should keep shops and access to cash.
The platform calls for fiber-optic coverage everywhere, keeping hospitals and maternity wards, and stronger outpatient and emergency care. Public transit outside the cities is to be expanded further and made more attractive. Medical services, groceries and cash are to remain available throughout rural areas. The party wants more flexible laws for village shops, and digital supermarkets are to be allowed to open around the clock. Care is to be organized so that people can grow old where they live. Regional economic cycles and regional marketing are to be strengthened.
