The FDP website collapsed after a comment by left-wing politician Gregor Gysi on TV-Total led to a run on the Liberals' website.
Munich - The former group leader of the Left, Gregor Gysi, is probably responsible for the paralyzing of the official website of the FDP.
A sentence from the politician during the broadcast has apparently triggered a run on the FDP website.
Within a short period of time, the website collapsed due to the large number of hits.
Left-wing politician Gysi claims the “hottest bee” is with the FDP - viewers storm the website and search
It all started harmlessly.
In the "hard or fair" duel, the moderator Sebastian Pufpaff asked the left-wing politician one question after the other and mostly received answers adorned with humor.
One question, and especially Gysi's answer, should hit the FDP unexpectedly hard - at least the Liberals' website.
Because when Pufpaff asked the question “Who is the sharpest bee in the new Bundestag?”, The FDP was suddenly drawn into the picture.
“I already know her.
She's in the FDP, ”replied Gysi, arousing the curiosity of most of the audience.
They stormed the homepage of the Free Democrats and started the search for the "sharpest bee".

Gysi triggers collapse of FDP website - users complain on social media about "slow website"
Apparently too many couldn't resist their curiosity and stopped by the FDP website.
The number of visitors overloaded the Free Democrats' website - so much that it was paralyzed.
If you wanted to visit the FDP website, you were greeted by an error message instead of the usual view.

Social media users also hypothesized who the “bee” they are looking for might be.
So far, nobody has been sure to find what they are looking for, but the Twitter community tipped off Nicole Bauer, Ria Schröder or Linda Teuteberg.
The FDP website is now available again.
