What do the parties in Brandenburg say on transport?

The AfD demands that all infrastructure projects in the Structural Strengthening Act for Lusatia be carried out and that the road and rail network be expanded. What it sees as a one-sided focus on climate measures is to end.

The BSW rejects the phase-out of combustion engines and demands lower fuel prices. The CO2 price should be abolished. The party also opposes a general 30 km/h limit in towns and a 120 km/h limit on highways, arguing that driving must stay affordable, especially in rural areas.
