In November 1989 he returned to East Germany and in December spoke at the congress which founded the Party of Democratic Socialism. He was cleared of all wrong-doing in June 1990.
Bahro is seen by many as a pioneer of the democracy movement. However others have accused him of being too uncritical of the far right.
