The Enemy Within: Angela Merkel's Fight to Hold on to Power - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International: "Political turmoil, disorder and revolutions are anathema to Merkel. On a Wednesday in August, she is standing on a lawn in the Hungarian town of Sopron. It was here that, exactly 20 years ago, Hungarian border guard Arpád Bella allowed more than 600 East German refugees to push their way through an old gate and into neighboring Austria -- a key event in the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Standing next to Bella in a white tent, Merkel, who grew up in East Germany, keeps repeating the same sentence: 'I wouldn't have had the courage to do what you did back then.'"
