GermanyThe FDP (Free Democratic Party) remains struggling in Berlin's election campaign, despite gaining support nationally under new leadership. In the capital, the party has been stuck between three and four percent in polls, barely above its recent performance in Sachsen-Anhalt. The party often stays below the attention threshold, though it occasionally appears at smaller events like 'Smalltalk BERLIN,' where it shares space with minor parties such as the animal rights group and satirical party 'Die Partei.' Christian Lindner, former leader of the FDP, made a notable appearance at a gathering in a high-end brasserie, drawing attention from journalists and highlighting his continued influence within the party. During the event, Lindner and current candidate Christoph Meyer emphasized economic growth and reducing bureaucracy as central themes of their campaign, using the venue's challenges, such as bureaucratic restrictions on music, as examples of the issues they aim to address.
