Former Finance Minister Christian Lindner, now the leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), expressed his ambitions for future coalition talks in a recent interview. With confidence in a CDU-led government post-election, he criticized potential ‘Ampel-Light’ coalitions with the SPD or Greens and emphasized the need for a distinct FDP presence in the next parliament. Lindner, aiming for double-digit results, indicated that the campaign has already begun, and he urged for a swift election date. Despite FDP’s current struggles in polls, he maintains hope for a strong comeback.
