Christian Lindner Career

Early political career

Lindner joined the FDP in 1995. He has been a member of the executive board of FDP in North Rhine-Westphalia since 1998 and has been Secretary General since 2004 (until February 2010). Lindner, 21, was elected at the Landtag of North Rhine-Westphalia in May 2000, becoming the youngest member of the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. Lindner was first a "spokesman for Intergenerational Affairs, Family, Integration" in 2000, and then became vice chairman of the FDP parliamentary group in parliament and spokesman for Innovation, Science, and Technology from 2005 to 2009. He joined the executive board of the FDP on a federal basis in 2007.

Lindner was a member of the German Bundestag from 2009 to 2011. Following the 2009 federal election, he was a member of the FDP delegation on families, integration of immigrants, and culture, led by Maria Böhmer and Hans-Joachim Otto.

Lindner was FDP's executive from December 2009 to his surprise departure in December 2011, largely under the leadership of party chairman Guido Westerwelle and later under Philipp Rösler, who was forced to resign. Lindner's resignation was triggered by an internal party vote that had been coerced by a group centring around the Eurosceptic FDP parliamentarian Frank Schäffler to determine the FDP's future direction on topics relating to the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).

Lindner was later elected to chair the NRW FDP in the 2012 state election of North Rhine-Westphalia, replacing Daniel Bahr. The FDP gained 8.6% of the vote in the general election, overshadowing all expectations at the time, as the party had been struggling to achieve the minimum representation of 5% for years and was losing a large number of states. Following the party's victory at that election, he was elected FDP leader in the NRW Landtag, succeeding Gerhard Papke on May 15, 2012, and spent in opposition. He was elected one of Rösler's deputies in March 2013, alongside Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and Holger Zastrow.

Could the UK and France form a 'nuclear umbrella' over Europe? As the United States continues to raise questions that Putin might launch anti-satellite weapons into space, a German minister has urged Britain to contribute to a new nuclear shield

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 15, 2024
According to alliance members that have pledged 2% of their GDP to defense, German finance minister Christian Lindner's wild suggestion comes just days after the former US President declared that Russia will do "whatever the hell it wants." 'The strategic nuclear powers of France and Great Britain are already contributing to the stability of our alliance.' The question is: under what political and financial conditions would Paris and London be prepared to maintain or expand their own strategic capabilities for collective security?' He asked. Europe's only nuclear powers are Britain and France, and while NATO members maintain their own independent influence over their respective nuclear arsenals. However, even within the company's collective power, it is just fraction of what was used by Russia, which has the world's biggest and most diverse arsenal by some distance.

In spite of powerful headwinds, Europe can still achieve "quality growth."

You have to look beyond a wall of fear as an investor. For example, every reason exists for me to be skeptical of continental Europe at this moment. After a brief night in dire need of a hot cup of coffee, German finance minister Christian Lindner says his country is simply 'a tired man.' However, the sundry woes of the eurozone's largest economy require more than caffeine. However, this unappealing history should not deter you from considering the individual merits of Europe's mega-businesses, whose balance sheet strength is behind Goldman Sachs' estimate that the pan-European Stoxx 600 index will climb by 6 percent this year.

As recession looms, a German minister says the economy needs "a cup of coffee."

As the once-powerhouse faces another year of stagnation, country finance minister Christian Lindner insisted that it was not the'sick man' of Europe.' The admission, after a bleak year in which Germany was the worst-performing economy in the Group of Seven major industrialized countries, came as European leaders said the continent must brace for Donald Trump's return to the White House.
