Bijan Djir-Sarai, the General Secretary of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), has announced his resignation following backlash over an internal strategy document that referred to a potential coalition exit as ‘D-Day.’ Djir-Sarai apologized for being unaware of the document’s content and accepted political responsibility. The term ‘D-Day,’ historically associated with World War II, has drawn significant criticism for its insensitivity. The document’s release prompted calls for accountability within the party, with Franziska Brandmann, head of the Young Liberals, advocating for Djir-Sarai’s resignation.
