[3] The proclamation was followed by a joint press statement with the New Liberals in early 2020, declaring an intent of embracing a close cooperation between the parties in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

[4] The Liberal Democrats passed their "social-liberal principles" (German: Sozialliberale Leitgedanken) in their 47th general assembly in Göttingen.

[6] As outlined in their "social-liberal principles", the Liberal Democrats advocate for "equal civil rights for all human beings".

They claim that non-citizens with a long-term main residence in Germany are also part of the multicultural society and shall be eligible to vote.

[11] The Liberal Democrats call for the introduction of an unconditional basic income, in which all tax-financed social assistance of the state is combined.

They urge to abolish the prohibition of blood donation by homosexual individuals as well as to ease access to abortion and assisted reproductive technology.

However at the point at which the invisible hand fails and the economy acts in disfavour of society, the state shall interfere.

They also take high priority in ensuring labor welfare and outline it as a main condition for access to any subventions from the state.

[14] The Liberal Democrats make positive remarks on how the European Economic Community evolved into the EU and emphasise the advantages of international cooperation.

[16] The Liberal Democrats demand that military actions shall always be seen as a last resort and always follow legitimation through a UN resolution or a casus foederis.

They also condemn violations to international law in terms of invasion, occupation, resettlements and coups in foreign territory while endorsing nonviolent resistances of groups of people for their right of self-determination.
