The Free Democratic Party (FDP) of Germany has unveiled an ambitious election program focused on education, economic reform, and tax cuts.

The party aims to lower the top income tax rate threshold from €68,000 to €96,600 and eliminate the solidarity surcharge, benefiting higher earners.

Businesses would also see tax reductions, with corporate tax rates targeted below 25%.

FDP leader Marco Buschmann emphasized the need for a "disruptive" approach to governance, moving away from incremental changes.

The program also proposes a unified national high school diploma and reduced bureaucracy.

Critics question the financial feasibility of these plans, which could cost the state €188 billion annually.

The FDP hopes these measures will attract voters seeking a pro-business, economically liberal government.
