Strack-Zimmermann Calls for Renewed Efforts and Relevance in Changing World

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, a European Parliament member from the FDP, predicts a challenging four-year journey for her party. Despite this, Strack-Zimmermann believes that working in the opposition will be easier than it was after the FDP’s exit from the Bundestag in 2013. She attributes this to the significant changes that have taken place in the world during that period. Strack-Zimmermann expresses optimism that people understand the need for a liberal party and emphasizes the importance of re-establishing this perception among the public. She warns against the risk of being perceived as a party that only says “no” and highlights the role of the new General Secretary Nicole Büttner in representing the new direction of the FDP. Strack-Zimmermann stresses that the liberal party must work hard to regain the trust and support of the people.
