The Free Democratic Party (FDP) is a liberal political party in Germany, founded in 1948. It advocates individual freedom, self-determination, and a free market economy. In the political spectrum, it is positioned between the center and center-right. The FDP has been part of the federal government multiple times and has coalitioned with both the CDU/CSU and the SPD. Most recently, it was part of the so-called traffic light coalition with the SPD and the Greens.
History of the FDP
The FDP was founded in 1948 and united various liberal currents in Germany. Since then, it has participated in federal governments several times, both in coalitions with the CDU/CSU and with the SPD. In the 1970s, it was significantly involved in eastern policy, which contributed to détente between East and West. After the reunification in 1990, the FDP merged with liberal organizations from the GDR to become a unified German party. From 2013 to 2017, it was not represented in the Bundestag but returned in 2017 and was part of the traffic light coalition after the 2021 federal elections.
Political Orientation and Program
The FDP sees itself as a party of freedom and self-determination. It advocates a free market economy, reduction of bureaucracy, and individual civil rights. In its basic program, it emphasizes the importance of education and digitization. In refugee and European policy, it holds positions aimed at restoring legal certainty.
Current Developments
Recently, the FDP has initiated various political initiatives, including demands for an 'economic turnaround' with tax cuts and reduction of bureaucracy. After the collapse of the traffic light coalition, the party faced criticism and was blamed by its coalition partners for the failure.
