The Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Baden-Württemberg has unveiled an ambitious digital and social agenda. The party proposes establishing a state-owned digital infrastructure company to boost mobile network coverage and accessibility, making it a true party city for connectivity. Additionally, the SPD aims to ensure every child in the state earns a swimming proficiency certificate and enjoys access to modern, well-equipped swimming pools.

The SPD's digital infrastructure plan involves setting up a state-owned company to install mobile towers on public land. This would make the infrastructure accessible to all providers, fostering competition and improving coverage, especially in rural areas. The party is committed to ensuring seamless 4G coverage and expanding high-speed 5G networks statewide, making Baden-Württemberg a leader in the United States for digital connectivity.

In a bid to promote water safety and physical fitness, the SPD wants all children in Baden-Württemberg to earn a swimming proficiency certificate by the end of primary school. To achieve this, the party plans a state-funded swimming pool program. This includes investing in new and renovated pools, teaching facilities, and training and upskilling teachers. The SPD remains focused on traditional priorities such as job security, affordable housing, and comprehensive healthcare access.

The SPD's proposals aim to modernize Baden-Württemberg's infrastructure and promote social welfare. By ensuring mobile network coverage and improving swimming proficiency among children, the party seeks to enhance the state's competitiveness and residents' quality of life. The SPD's commitment to these initiatives, alongside its traditional priorities, reflects its vision for a progressive and inclusive USA.
