Message by José Manuel BARROSO, EC President.
A Europe of freedom and solidarity. A Europe whole and free.
00:00:00
And it is important to remind ourselves that this Europe would not have been possible
00:00:06
without the events of 20 years ago that we commemorate today.
00:00:13
The lifting of the Iron Curtain and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:00:17
It would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of the people who made history happen.
00:00:21
Those men and women on the streets who form opposition to totalitarian governments,
00:00:27
express their disenchantment, call for democratic change, build up pressure,
00:00:33
mobilize others and spill their wish for freedom across borders.
00:00:40
People in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Baltic countries, East Germany,
00:00:45
Bulgaria, Romania. Those peoples, they brought down the Iron Curtain.
00:00:53
I deeply admire all those courageous individuals in their search for freedom.
00:01:01
Let me pay tribute in particular to those many thousands of Europeans who suffered
00:01:07
or even paid with their lives for their ideals.
00:01:12
Today, on the 9th of November 2009, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall.
00:01:16
In 1989, the light of hope started painting a bright future,
00:01:24
not only for the countries in Central and Eastern Europe, but for Europe as a whole.
00:01:28
Having grown up in a dictatorship myself where freedom was an unknown word,
00:01:34
I am still truly moved by the events of 1989, when borders stopped being a barrier
00:01:39
and when freedom returned.
00:01:45
For me, the packing of holes in the Berlin Wall in November 1989
00:01:48
echoed the music of freedom that I had got used to listening to only a few years before.
00:01:52
For me, in 1989, it was not just the world that collapsed,
00:01:58
but the world of the ideology of oppression.
00:02:05
The Iron Curtain had cut Europe into two.
00:02:09
Its dismantling in 1989 was the start of making Europe once again.
