The lead candidate for Germany's liberal Free Democrats (FDP) in the European elections, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, is content with her party's result.
"The fact that it is now a stable 5% is good news," Strack-Zimmermann said at the party's headquarters in Berlin on Sunday evening.
The results are a confirmation of her party's demands for a change in economic policy, stronger security policy and changes to migration policy, Strack-Zimmermann said.
She emphasized that the party had roughly maintained its result from the last European elections.
In the European elections in 2019, the FDP, junior coalition partner in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's centre-left government, gained 5.4% of the vote, compared to 11.5% in the last federal elections in 2021.
