POLITICAL FIDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
FDP'S VERHEUGEN DENIES COALITION BREAKUP IMMINENT
Hamburg STERN in German 3 Sep pp 128-30
[Article: "The CDU Is Mired in a Bog of Intellectural Sloth"]
[Text] FDP secretary Guenter Verheugen tells in an interview with STERN why the
Social-Liberal coalition will continue to gov~ern in Bonn despite disagreement on the
1982 budget and other differences of opinion.
STERN: Herr Verheugen, the tug of war over the 1982 budget has poisoned the
_ coalition atmosphere. Is the SPb/FDP alliance breaking up?
Verheugen: I am of a totally different opinion on that point. Never before in the
history of the Federal Republic have so many economies been affected at one time as
in this round of_ budget cuts. Nonetl.:less Z would have to say with some self-
criticism that the coaliation has not been able to pre~tent this as a success.
Instead, it has managed to talk to death an achievement that it ':sd brought about
by joint effort.
STER~i: During the budget conferences between the Free and the Social Democrats,
basic differences of opinion emerged clearly. Are the coalition parties about to
split apart?
Verheugen: I am convinced that the problems that lie ahead af us cannot be solved
by any better coalition than the Social-Liberal one.
STERN: Which problems are y~u thinking of?
Verheugen: For example, the problem of creating a new visian of the future for our
younger generation.
STERN: B~it the common grounds of interest are growing fewer.
Verheugen: Well, of course these common ~rounds will be eroded when y~u put
together an administration program and then achieve it step by step. But it's up
to us to continue to replenish these common grounds. And I spe in the new economy
package, for example, a new round of mutual interests.
STERN: Isn't more than just a few random mutual interests on policy matters
r~ecessary to m~intain a coalition?

Verheugen: It'G my opinion that thetwo great tasks of the Social-Liberal
co~lition--a policy of peace abroad and reform at home--have not yet been concluded.
STERN: But precisely that peace policy, which until now had been th~a strongest bond
betweea the FDP and the SPD, seems at this moment not to have a very high priority
with your_ party chairman, Foreign Minister Genscher; even in social and economic
policy the FDP appears to be growing closer to the union.
Verheugera: We can hardly gr.o~� closer to a vacuum. The CDU is mired in a bog of
intellectual sloth and has been for years now. This party no longer has the
capacity to take a position on such difficult questions as budgec or peace policy.
Their motto is: don't rock the boat and do hope that by some miracle the keys t~
� power will suddenly fall into their hands.
STERN; Perhaps this is what will happen.
a
Verheugen: That can and will never happen.
STERN: Then how do you explain to us what you and the FDP leadership have been
- doing ovzr the past few weeks? Opinion surveys were circulated according to which
a change to coalition with the Union was seen as a possibility without endangering
its existence. The coalition was strained to the breaking point by FDP demands.
Was all this just tactics?
Verheugen: The operations of the FDP have been misunderstood by many people as
maneuvers directed against the SPD. In fact it was we who demanded and pushed
through the necessary change of course toward greater economy. That was to create
the fiscal. basis for any further joint action. As far as this affected the voters,
it was directed instead at the Union, becau~e in that way we became the standard
bearers of hope for the liberal fraction of t:he CDU voters. The breach that had
been made into the CDU voter potential ar the BundEStag elections of 1980 is what we
wanted to make permanent. What is at stake f_or the FDP is whether it reverts to a
woebegone p
