 Fischer also expressed his thoughts very frankly in the periodical of the Hessian Green party "Stichwort Grün".In an interview with "Bunte" magazine published on 27 July 1989, he rejected German reunification and demanded that the reunification clause be deleted from the preamble to the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany.Even after the growth of the wave of the refugees from East Germany, Fischer on 20 September 1989 demanded that the Federal Republic renounce reunification.
