Association of Free Democrats (1990: Two Germanies)

The Association of Free Democrats (German: Bund Freier Demokraten, BFD) is an East German Liberal political party founded in 1990 between liberal groups and parties in East Germany. Through the democratization of East Germany, it was one of the main liberal forces in the country.

In 1993, some years after it was formed, it reformed itself into a political party, sister to the West German Free Democratic Party. The BFD places itself in the centre, and through the years, it have collaborated with both the Social Democratic Party and the Christian Democratic Union.

The party have, since it was started, pushed for economic liberalism and free trade. While it is often placed in the centre, on economics it is further right-wing than the CDU, maybe the most right-wing there. Since it started as an alliance, there are both social liberals and classical liberals in the party.

Current leader is Holger Zastrow.
