"Fellows! Silence, please! We have no time for quarrels, it's important to remain within our topics. The word has now our first chairman, member of our cooperative society."
"First of all let me thank you all who are joining our movement and inspiring the executive board with their proposals and ideas. As the most of you know the final result of our poll showed with a considerable majority Leipzig as the common seat of the transitional government. Those who have vote for Dresden instead have to consider that the people of South Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt demanded a centrally located city and raised therefore concerns over a possible domination of the Saxon Free State. Any questions on that? .. No? .. Good, then we come to our first main topic, the negotiations with the State of Poland about the implementation of the Złoty as legal currency in our newly founded state union. According to Warsaw .. I see some hands rising into the air, let's start with you there, in the second row."
"Mr Chairman, wouldn't it be better to insert the U.S. Dollar as transitional currency?"
"That's-"
"Silence, please, silence!!"
"Thank you, Mr Spokesman .. that's not what we wanted and I thought we've had discussed it earlier but if it's necessary I will repeat it again: the introduction of the Dollar would mean we have nothing learned from the faults the imperialistic market economy has made. To be clear: most of you know that the German reunification was connected with the loss of important values as equality or righteous apportionment. Accepting the Dollar would endanger those values we're fighting for to regain. Other questions? .. Yes, you in the last row on the left?"
"Don't you fear a strong dependency on Poland?"
"Well, we had our concerns about that but it's definitely too early to start up with an own currency. As long as we have no constitutional fundament we're glad about the support from Warsaw. This morning I had a longer phone call with the Polish minister of finances who reassured me their strongest support. Our friends are very interested in the sustaining our economic branches, not only in their own interests. Any other questions about that? .. No? .. Good, let's figure out the next topic, our relations to the other German Federal Lands, especially the Northeast and the South. Let's begin with Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. According to our sources the New Nationalist Movement has taken the power in more than two dozen municipalities. We condemn their inhuman behavior and evince our solidarity to the transitional government in Rostock but we're afraid the officials are too weak to get the political power back in a sort-term period. Yes?"
"Do we have any reactions from Berlin about that?"
"Berlin's occupied with itself. Building up an own state, a bizarre combination of Monaco and Woodstock. They always knew how to handle the marketing and now they're selling themselves to the Americans and the Chinese. We're afraid that the north of Brandenburg has to take it's destiny into it's own hands. But there's still hope into a better future. More disturbing are the latest news about the south. Two of our delegates were detained to travel to Munich. We demanded immediately an official statement but we haven't heard anything until now. Has anybody here in the hall more precise informations about what's going on there? .. No? .. Anyway, fellows, we have to make the best of our situation, no matter what the other regions think about us. Due to our excellent relations with our neighbors in the east we soon will be able to reinstall a governmental and economic system which leads us out of the current unstableness into a future prosperity avoiding the fatal mistakes of the past .. The last important topic on our agenda today is the agreement with the farmers. The reasons for their protest actions last week around Magdeburg are the still missing supplies of urgently needed fertilizers and the scaling down of fuel. We told them that it was inevitable to shorten even the diesel to save our reserves. We assured them also that the rationing mainly concerns private car owners and not basic economic branches like the agriculture. To avoid in common such fatal misunderstandings we've agreed with their spokesmen that all gas stations and fuel suppliers are instructed to support the farmers with the needed amount of diesel. The delayed delivery of the fertilizers based upon the same problem. The local suppliers hadn't enough fuel and the lorries stood in front of the storage depots. Thanks to a noble donation of an Ukrainian businessman who wants to be anonymous the delivery can be carried forward. In return they've promised us the efficient delivery of wheat, rye and corn within the next days .. before we continue with the open dialogue about our topics and our next steps I like to thank everybody of you for your continuous and generous engagement. Dear fellows, we're stuck amidst a crisis we can only handle together, in unity and with the power of our hearts and our minds. Our parents and our older siblings went at that time on the streets chanting 'We are the people' and toppled the SED regime. Now it's our duty to fight again for our freedom and our independence. We have a lot of work to do and we will continue .."
