Merkel expresses thanks to Hungary on opening Iron Curtain - Monsters and Critics: "Berlin - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday expressed thanks to Hungary for its opening of its border with Austria 20 years ago, triggering the start of the collapse of communism in Europe.
In her weekly video address, Merkel commented on the 'Pan European Picnic' of August 19, 1989 when part of the border fence separating Hungary from Austria was opened, with hundreds of East Germans immediately taking the chance to flee to the west."
