Harald Christ, former treasurer of Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP), has announced his departure from the party, citing dissatisfaction with its recent actions.

Christ's decision was influenced by the controversial "D-Day" paper, which outlined the FDP's strategy for exiting the coalition with the SPD and the Greens.

The document, criticized for its use of military language, has sparked significant internal and public backlash.

Christ, who joined the FDP in 2020 after over 30 years with the SPD, expressed his desire to engage in politics without being tied to a specific party.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining integrity and criticized the FDP's recent political maneuvers as detrimental to the country.

Despite leaving the party, Christ remains committed to supporting democratic values across the political spectrum.
