FDP's Kubicki Eyes Bold Coalition Shift

Published: 2024-12-26

Wolfgang Kubicki, deputy leader of Germany's FDP, has outlined an ambitious plan to boost his party's support to double digits in the next federal election.

In a recent interview, Kubicki expressed confidence in a political reset as the new year begins, despite the FDP polling at just 3-5% currently.

He proposed a potential coalition with the CDU and SPD, excluding the Greens, citing irreconcilable differences in political philosophy.

Kubicki criticized the current SPD leadership and suggested that a poor election result for the party could pave the way for a new alliance.

His remarks signal a strategic pivot for the FDP as it seeks to redefine its role in German politics.
