The voters' initiative continues to see its role in representing interests in the social-ecological sector that are not adequately addressed by the existing political groups. The next milestone was identified as the 2024 local elections.
Bunt saar will advocate for a transport transition worthy of the name. Households with lower incomes are more often affected by the environmental impacts of traffic, such as noise and air pollution, than households with higher incomes, even though they are not the main contributors. Therefore, the transport system urgently needs to be reformed if our mobility is to become fairer and more ecological. At the municipal level, all opportunities must be explored in favor of climate-friendly and socially effective transport. Priority should be given to walking and cycling for individual mobility. Local speed limits should help reduce the risk of accidents. The conversion of areas currently reserved for motorized individual traffic will be tackled following the Paris model.
An industrial policy that consciously supports companies producing products or services that serve not only profit but also the common good is important. For Saarbrücken, the introduction of a land tax C on developable, undeveloped plots is proposed. This aims to counteract land speculation. The revenues generated from this could be used to provide relief in trade tax. The consumption of forested areas must be stopped; only ecological construction should be permitted. bunt.saar advocates for consistent animal protection. This requires a departure from factory farming with turbo breeding for maximum performance.
