FDP leader Christian Lindner, who was dismissed from the German federal government, wants to become finance minister again. “That is my goal, because I am now a candidate for the next German Bundestag,” the 45-year-old said in the ZDF program “Was a nun, Herr Lindner”.
“And the goal is not opposition, but I obviously want to continue my work in the next government,” Lindner explained on television on Thursday evening. Despite poor polls, the FDP has taken the risk of new elections because of its convictions. “And I think you should do that once, because it is also a sign of character,” said the FDP leader.
“We are now in limbo”
At the coalition committee meeting, he proposed orderly, speedy and dignified new elections. There would still have been a government capable of acting and passing the necessary laws. “Instead, we now have a limbo where there is no law and where there is no acting government, there is only an acting government.”
About Transport Minister Volker Wissing, who is leaving the FDP to remain a federal minister, Lindner said: “I don’t want to say anything other than that I personally and personally wish him all the best.”
