The FDP is calling on the traffic light partners to tackle economic reforms more quickly. Secretary General Bijan Djir-Sarai mentions specific points, including tax cuts, reductions in bureaucracy and a “safe” welfare state.
The draft of the key motion for the FDP federal party conference states that the country is "currently not competitive" and that the economy is stagnating like no other industrial country. The FDP also wants to set accents in the social sector.
