FDP leader Christian Lindner has rejected calls to resign following the departure of his General Secretary, Bijan Djir-Sarai. In an interview, Lindner stated his intention to remain as party leader and run as the top candidate in the upcoming Bundestag elections. The controversy stems from a ‘D-Day’ document outlining a potential exit from the Ampel coalition, which has sparked internal criticism. Lindner asserts that the party’s failures have been exploited by political opponents, and he emphasizes the importance of focusing on future direction rather than past mistakes.
