The Parliamentary Managing Director of the Green Party parliamentary group, Irene Mihalic, made a similar statement: “Nobody really needs this force. It is damaging our country,” she told the editorial network Germany. “My conclusion is that you cannot govern with the FDP at the moment,” said parliamentary group co-chairwoman Katharina Dröge to the broadcasters RTL/ntv.
The parliamentary managing director of the SPD parliamentary group, Katja Mastsaid about Lindner: “Someone like that shouldn’t be allowed to bear any responsibility.”political, human and historical abysses “,” she told Reuters. “Christian Lindner has disqualified himself politically with this blatant political calculation at the expense of the country.” It was not a trivial offense, it had “massively damaged democracy,” she added. “The FDP will pay the price for it.”
