Previous parliamentary group leader
Christian Dürr wants to become the new FDP party leader
The parliamentary group leader wants more: Christian Dürr apparently wants to become the party chairman of the FDP. Defeats are no reason to give up, he says.
After the debacle in the Bundestag election, the previous FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr wants to take the lead in the party. He applies for the party chairmanship and thus the successor of Christian Lindner.
“Some say it is not the time for liberal politics. We need economic and social freedom more than ever”. The FDP is already missing in the Bundestag, he said in a video message. He wanted to help the party return.
Christian Dürr wants to follow Christian Lindner
The Bundestag election was a “bitter defeat”, said Dürr. But defeats are no reason to give up. It is not over with the FDP. “A party in Germany is needed. A party that believes in the power of the individual and does not think that the state should regulate everything. A party that brings together economic freedom and social freedom,” said Dürr.
At 4.3 percent, the FDP had cut down disastrously in the Bundestag election and missed moving into the Bundestag. The previous party leader Lindner reacted immediately and announced his withdrawal from politics.
First, the FDP European politician Marie-Egnes Strack-Zimmermann and party veteran Wolfgang Kubicki were traded for the chair. They explained their willingness to rebuild the party. However, Strack-Zimmermann emphasized that she did not want to become party leader. “I am convinced that the reconstruction of the FDP can only succeed in the team. The leadership should be taken over by a young and fresh personality,” she said.
