Marco Buschmann has been confirmed as the new Secretary General of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following Bijan Djir-Sarai’s resignation over internal controversies. FDP leader Christian Lindner praised Buschmann’s extensive experience and leadership skills. As he steps into this challenging role, Buschmann aims to advocate for reduced bureaucracy, lower taxes, and competitive energy prices. With elections approaching in 2025, the FDP faces pressure, currently polling around five percent, as they navigate recent party turmoil.
