course

At the party congress, the question of whether the FDP should set itself greater goals and address other groups of voters was discussed, something Jürgen Möllemann in particular advocated. His goal was to reach the 18 percent share of the vote on the way to becoming a “people's party”. The party chairman Wolfgang Gerhardt advocated that the FDP should continue to and primarily remain the “citizens' party”. General Secretary Guido Westerwelle called on the party to be more independent and, above all, to distance itself from the Greens . A motion by the Young Liberals to separate Gerhardt's positions as party and parliamentary group chairman was rejected by a large majority.
