Free Democratic Party (East Germany)
Political party in the GDR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Free Democratic Party of the GDR (German: Freie Demokratische Partei der DDR, F.D.P.) was an opposition political party in East Germany[1]. The appeal for its formation was made on 25 November 1989 in Berlin by those East German liberals who doubted the ability of the former block party Liberal Democratic Party of Germany to reform itself[2]. It was formally founded 4 February 1990; on 12 February 1990, it joined the Association of Free Democrats for the Volkskammer elections[2].
