Postal post: Where is the responsible basic supply in the country?
postal supply in rural areas: a challenge for the community
The challenges that many rural municipalities are facing in Germany are becoming increasingly visible. More and more towns have to struggle with deteriorated postal care, which particularly affects older people and socially disadvantaged citizens. This is not just a logistical problem, but a social that affects the quality of life in these regions.
In recent years, more precisely between 2015 and 2022, Deutsche Post has increased postage prices several times. These price increases affect all customers, but while the prices rise, the quality of the services is not guaranteed accordingly. In the law, Swiss Post is obliged to deliver across the board and ensure basic postal care. But the reality looks different: Many rural communities are affected by inadequate postal supply, which is a significant cut for the people living there.
The closure of post offices, which often act as a central point of contact in smaller cities, forces the residents to pick up their packages in often unsuitable places, such as in tight kiosks. This is a major problem, especially for the older generation, since many of them are unable to cover long distances due to health or mobility -related reasons.
Another point is that the new postal law, which slows down the delivery, has been adopted without any noteworthy protests. This not only shows a creeping devaluation of basic postal care, but also a certain degree of resignation on the part of customers. The desire for reliable and timely delivery, especially for important programs such as birthday gifts for grandchildren, often remains unfulfilled.
The effects of these developments are far -reaching. The postal connection is not only important for the preservation of shipments, but also for access to other services such as shopping or medical care, which are already restricted in rural areas. If the infrastructure does not keep up with the price increases, this is a sign that the needs of people in the country are less and less taken into account.
In order to counteract these grievances, both the legislator and Deutsche Post will be required to take their responsibility seriously. People in rural areas are entitled to adequate postal care, which should not only be subordinate to the economic pressure of the companies. It is important that you recognize the needs of the community and act accordingly before the social gap continues to grow.
