The FDP is currently not succeeding in getting sufficient support for its clear profile, said Lindner. The FDP is facing up to the challenge of “now working out and strengthening” the profile that has been recognized as correct. She takes her time for that. It’s about “how we turn on the position lights of the FDP”. Lindner rejected changes to the basic positions of his party. He also reiterated the demand to leave the three remaining nuclear power plants connected to the grid in view of the energy crisis. “It’s not politics, it’s physics.”
The FDP only got 4.7 percent of the Lower Saxony elections on Sunday and was kicked out of the state parliament. Earlier this year she had suffered bitter defeats in the state elections in Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia.
