DRF LIKELY TO SPLIT
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER

Dunburg, September 19, 5645: After a raucous meeting at Dundorfische Rote Front (DRF) Headquarters, ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked Defense Minister Otto “Putzi” Haefstaengl what was afoot, and he replied:
 

Several things actually.  We have long had some differences developing within the DRF.  All of us are Metzists.  Some have always wanted to be a party of advocates of the Metzist vision including takeover of the state. In the Bundesrepublik, this faction has grown weary of compromise, wants advocacy of state ownership of all the means of production including all the military contractors and all the diamond industry and wants trade only with Metzist nations and disarmament.  And they are tired of the pragmatists. Very tired.
 
And as the Defense Minister I am the primary pragmatist target of the purists.  But not the only one. Discussions were frank and involved much criticism – self criticism as well as clarification of where we all really stood.
 
Two decisions were made.  Karl-Heinrich Muller, currently the Grosvic party secretary, will lead the DRF  into the next election as a pure Metzist party which not be part of  any government that includes parties antithetical to socialist principles.
 
Those of who are considered pragmatists will not stand for election as DRF.  We may well form a Metzist party that wants to work within a parliamentary framework for democracy and emphasizes securing decent statutory benefits for all citizens, sexual freedom and a much greener Terra. Much greener than the DRF has ever officially suggested. Much.
 
Be that as it may, Ursula Hoepner is drafting documents necessary to form a new party should the withdrawing pragmatists actually want to stand for seats in the Bundestag.
