politics

During the political change in the GDR , Fuchs was involved in the civil rights movement. In autumn 1989 she joined the New Forum . In April 1990 she moved to the Bund Free Democrats , shortly afterwards joined the FDP and was elected to the federal executive board of the Liberals . In 1990 she moved to the Brandenburg state parliament as a member of parliament . From 1990 to 1992 she was a member of the Committee for Food, Agriculture and Forestry, a member of the Legal Committee and deputy chairwoman of the Interior Committee. In parliament she represented the constituency of Frankfurt / Oder I.

In the early 1990s, members of the Frankfurt Citizens' Committee accused Fuchs of having Stasi files destroyed and working with former employees of the Ministry for State Security (MfS). In 1993 the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt / Oder initiated proceedings against them on suspicion of serious breach of custody. As a result, Fuchs resigned all party offices and resigned from the FDP. On June 14, 1993, she also left the FDP parliamentary group, but remained a non-attached member of the state parliament until the end of the 1994 legislative period .

From 1990 to 1993, Fuchs was pressured by the Federal Intelligence Service to establish contact with the KGB via former Stasi cadres when the MfS in Frankfurt (Oder) was dissolved. The judicial investigations against Fuchs were finally stopped in early 1995. Nevertheless, the preceding events led to the end of her political career.

Trivia

After a traffic accident that occurred in downtown Potsdam on April 21, 1993 , Fuchs allegedly committed a hit-and-run. A year later, she was sentenced by the Potsdam Regional Court to a fine of 4,500  DM and a three-month license withdrawal. She then challenged the verdict, which, after no evidence was found to support the allegations, was overturned by the Brandenburg Higher Regional Court in the same year .
