Network reactions to the FDP
“How I plan to convince my husband to get a dog”
Dissatisfaction with the FDP is growing after an internal document about the traffic lights being turned off became public. Many users online react with ridicule and malice for the liberals.
When it came to the break in the traffic light coalition, hardly any other political issue was discussed online as controversially as the role of the FDP. And the debates about the Liberals do not stop – especially not after the party published an internal paper in which the collapse of the coalition was meticulously planned.
Many users on social media are harshly critical of the FDP leadership. Various party leaders recently denied having used the term “D-Day” internally to describe the end of the traffic light coalition. But now it turns out that exactly this formulation also appears in the internal document. But many users also use the developments surrounding the FDP as an opportunity to make funny comments.
FDP publishes strategy paper – malice on the internet
At the forefront once again is Ricarda Lang, who posts one joke after another about political events on X after her resignation as co-chair of the Green Party. This time she took aim at the FDP’s communication strategy, the final stage of which was defined as an “open field battle”.

This D-Day process pyramid from the FDP has the vibe of 16-year-olds who brag on Instagram that they dropped out of school at 16 to do business in their parents’ attic

Apparently the FDP’s strategy can also be used as a blueprint for various other scenarios. How promising it is remains to be seen.

It can also be used, for example, for the crisis communication that will now follow. A Green MP has very clear ideas about what she expects from the FDP leadership.
Kindly corrected that @fdp. A little tip, you are currently still in Phase II. #DDay pic.twitter.com/XYEeIdIaN4

Criticism of FDP General Secretary Djir-Sarai
Others focused less on the content and more on the shape of the communication pyramid used to outline the procedure in the presentation. Step one is at the top there.

For the Liberals, the main thing now is to limit the damage. The FDP has not cut a good figure in its external image in recent weeks; according to current surveys, it has to worry about entering the Bundestag in the new elections. The plan doesn’t seem to have worked, either star-Columnist Micky Beisenherz.

The use of the term “D-Day,” which actually describes the Allied landings in Normandy during World War II, is highly controversial. Among other things, FDP General Secretary Bijan Djir-Sarai denied having used the formulation. He is accused of telling untruths. Bijan Djir-Sarai has resigned but continues to claim ignorance of the paper.

There was neither a plan to break the traffic lights nor a “D Day“, claimed the FDP. Now it turns out: yes. Stern policy chiefs Veit Medick and Jan Rosenkranz are analyzing the consequences.
