Joachim Stamp (born 21 June 1970) is a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) who served as a member of the State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia from the 2012 elections to 2022.
From 2010 to 2012, Stamp served as secretary general of the FDP in North Rhine-Westphalia, under the leadership of its chair Daniel Bahr.
[5] Under Stamp’s leadership,[6] the FDP only managed to win 5.9 percent in the 2022 state elections and subsequently had to leave the ruling coalition government.
In December 2022, Stamp was appointed by Federal Minister of the Interior and Community Nancy Faeser as Special Commissioner for Migration.
[7] In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, Stamp criticised the perceived top-down approach of the federal government, saying the fact that the states had to constantly clear their policies with Chancellor Angela Merkel “creates the impression that we’re at court”.
