The Free Democratic Party (FDP) presented their election program emphasizing tax reductions and stricter regulations around citizen welfare. General Secretary Marco Buschmann unveiled proposals aimed at significant relief for individuals and businesses by lowering tax rates, raising the basic tax exemption, and abolishing the solidarity surcharge. The program also includes budget cuts and a focus on fundamental economic liberalism. While aimed at supporting the middle class, concerns arise about its impact on state revenues and social programs, leading to potential cuts in areas such as unemployment benefits and support for Ukrainian refugees.
