Kubicki, who has been a prominent figure in the FDP for over five decades, emphasizes the need for visibility and direct engagement with the electorate, particularly in light of the party’s current polling at approximately four percent. He criticizes the previous leadership for a lack of public presence and intends to adopt a confrontational approach towards the Alternative for Germany (AfD), advocating for dialogue rather than exclusion. Despite concerns from some party members regarding a potential shift to the right under his leadership, Kubicki maintains that his track record contradicts such fears.
