Matthias Gehler3 the Government Spokesman of the German
Democratic Republic, by issuing a statement to the press following the meeting held
yesterday by the Government of the Democratic German Republic stated that the

election dates.
In accordance with the relevant news issued on the ADN Bulletin, Gehler stated that
the government of the Federal Republic of Germany aspired to hold the elections this
year in December; however, if the reunification process progresses too rapidly, the
psychological state of the people of the Democratic German Republic should be taken
into consideration; the transition to a market economy is a new application that has
created fear among the people. The economic, monetary and social union of the German
Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany would be formed on
1st of July, and he reaffirmed that the internal border controls would be
removed between the two countries.
