Small steps instead of progress in rural development

"Shows an example of broadband to the indecisive action of the Federal Government for the development of rural areas in all clarity.", The Brandenburg parliament deputies Cornelia Behm said after questioning the government on Wednesday in the German Bundestag. "The federal government has no idea how they can eliminate the many white spots on the map of broadband coverage. This behavior does seem vaguely out to the countries. In Brandenburg, until recently, is 2020 the target to which all households will be equipped with broadband. This is an imposition on the people and businesses in rural areas. The Greens demand the legal right to fast Internet and indeed throughout the country. "

The government survey dealt with in the Federal Cabinet today advised the Federal Government Progress Report on the development of rural areas. Is the opinion of Behm, the spokeswoman for the Green parliamentary group Rural Development, the federal government can now show only small steps instead of progress. The promotion of kleiräumigen economic cycles and to support regional initiatives are not progressing, the reduction of general interest can not be stopped. "For rural development, it requires a policy change. Only through courageous action and the adoption of large structures and industrialized agriculture in Germany there is the opportunity to create equal living conditions in all regions. "Said Behm.
