its Land list not by secret ballot, but by inadmissible block voting (NZ, no.<br />

40/1999, p. 4).<br />

SCHÖNHUBER also was the DVU front runner in Bavaria for the election to<br />

the Bundestag on 27 September 1998.<br />

As reported by the right-extremist newspaper "Nation & Europa - Deutsche<br />

Monatshefte" ["Nation & Europe - German Monthly Periodical"] (no. 2/1999)<br />

SCHÖNHUBER, in a letter to FREY, gave increasing journalistic duties as the<br />

reason for renouncing his candidacy.<br />

After the electoral success in Bremen, FREY - in a circular of 16 June - informed<br />

the DVU members about a new decision by the DVU national executive<br />

committee: the Party wished to focus "all strength" on the Landtag<br />

elections in Brandenburg and Thuringia and, in addition, stand in the local<br />

elections in Bremerhaven. At the same time, referring to a diagram attached<br />

to the letter, which contrasted the "enormous" funds of the mainstream<br />

parties to the "modest" overall income of the DVU, FREY launched<br />

an appeal for donations for the forthcoming election campaigns. He himself<br />

set a good example by donating funds, he said, and he asked for "the<br />

greatest support possible".<br />

The DVU electoral campaign budget for the three Landtag elections in 1999<br />

alone may be assumed to have amounted to more than six million DM.<br />

In 1989, the party had, with the support of the NPD, participated in the<br />

European elections as "DVU - Liste D" and was left with a tremendous deficit<br />

after these elections. The declared goal had been representation on the<br />

European Parliament. As stated by FREY himself, he had invested 18 million<br />

DM in the electoral campaign for numerous spectacular actions in order<br />

to attain that goal. However, on the basis of the DVU’s election result of 1.6<br />

% of the vote, only approx. 3.7 million DM of its campaign expenses were<br />

reimbursed to the DVU. The process of the DVU’s indebtedness which set<br />

in at that time has progressed until this day. The DVU did not stand in the<br />

1994 European elections.<br />

As reported by "NIT-Blitz" of 08 September 1999.<br />

In January 2000, the parliamentary group split after renewed squabbling<br />

with Dr. FREY.<br />

In addition, a free advertising leaflet "DS EXTRA" was issued from January<br />

to March 1999, with a monthly circulation of up to 80,000.<br />
