Free People's Party (Germany)

The Free People's Party (Freie Volkspartei) was a short-lived German political party. It was a splinter party formed in 1956 when several ministers broke away from the Free Democratic Party.[1] These included Franz Blücher, Fritz Neumayer and others.[citation needed] However, the following year it merged into the German Party.[2]
