The Deutsche Democratic Republic will be considering significant constitutional changes at a Constitutional Convention that has been scheduled next month. The People's Chamber will debate a number of reforms to the East German political system. There's no official word yet, but speculation is abound that the ruling Socialist Unity Party will allow elections to the People's Chamber to be more democatic than they have been in the past. This speculation was fuelled by a statement made by Horst Sindermann, President of the People's Chamber, in which he indicated that the Chamber would soon "take on a whole new significance" and allow for a "greater degree of debate".
