Socialist candidate Stoch emphasizes the importance of securing industrial employment positions as a top priority.
Andreas Stoch, the top candidate for Baden-Württemberg's state election, is making industrial job preservation a key focus of his campaign, emphasizing the need to protect and secure these jobs, particularly by opposing outsourcing to other countries[1]. As chairman of the Baden-Württemberg SPD, Stoch is working to re-establish the party's status as a workers' party, with a focus on social justice and economic security[1][2].
While specific policy details regarding the minimum wage were not found in the search results, Stoch’s broader commitment to social equity and workers strongly implies support for maintaining or increasing worker protections, including fair wages[1][2].
In terms of childcare, Stoch highlights the issue of insufficient childcare places in Baden-Württemberg and supports expanding availability to solve practical family challenges, suggesting advocacy for accessible or free childcare services to enable parents, especially working mothers, to participate fully in the economy[2].
These positions align with Stoch’s wider political goals to restore the SPD’s influence in Baden-Württemberg by re-anchoring the party as a defender of workers’ rights, social justice, economic security, and education reforms[1][2][4]. However, detailed policy documents or speeches specifying exact minimum wage figures or free childcare funding models were not found in the search results, suggesting they might be outlined more fully in future campaign materials closer to the 2026 Landtag election.
Stoch is also critical of debates about the so-called citizen's income, believing them to be misguided[3].
