DSU TALKING TO DRF
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Bundestag, August 19, 5660: ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER caught up with Ursua Hoepner, Floor Leader of Demoktratische Soziale Union (DSU), as she left a meeting with Karl-Heinrich Muller, Chair of Dundorfische Rote Front (DRF), and asked if it looked like DSU and DRF would rejoin each other, and Hoepner replied:
 

No, that was not what we were talking about.  The DSU has been very concerned that although there is clearly a left of center majority in the Bundestag, the ruling coalition seems to always include right of center parties.
 
What Karl-Heinrich and I were discussing was whether DRF could craft its demands so they conceivably could enter a governing coalition at some point in the future. We aimed at whether DRF’s opposition to monarchy and private ownership of the means of production could be expressed as having the right to remain in a  coalition although voting against any new treaties or trade agreements with monarchies and voting for nationalization over privatization whenever it came up.
 
Also what Ministries would be attractive to the DRF as well as any bills it might want in order to be a part of a governing coalition such as the education reform legislation sponsored by Grüne Partei für den Planeten (GPP).
 
Karl-Heinrich believes the DRF membership will buy the idea and will get back to me. 
 
With respect to your original question, the DSU and DRF split did cause some hard feelings and recrimination, and I think we are ready to move past that and work together on common goals.
