The proposal, put forth by the federal board, included measures such as reducing bureaucracy, cutting subsidies, and introducing two days of unpaid leave for sick pay. However, only parts of the proposal were adopted, with further discussions deferred to the board due to time constraints. Additionally, the convention saw the election of the new party leader, Christian Lindner, who succeeded the former vice-chairman Wolfgang Kubicki, defeating MEP Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.
