DE (auf #Deutsch) - #25thAnniversary of the fall of the Wall of Berlin, Germany - Martin Schulz - European Parliament President: “In this night it had been the people who wrote their own history and by this changed the course of the world. Our thanks and our highest respect is directed overall to those courageous women and men of the citizen’s movement of the DDR. (Applause) They have made this miracle possible. ‘We are the people’ all the time, repeatedly, ‘we are the people’. (...) Wherever we looked at in this year of 1989, the sparkle of freedom was lit, for example in the ship yards of Danzig, where the workers got together around Lech Walesa. Already since 1988 did Solidarnosc organised general strikes, they stopped production in the pits and in the yards to force the dictatorship to make concessions, this was a real work labour movement, which unmasked the alleged workers’ state and provoked the fall of the system.” (Applause) Exterior, viewing platform next to the Brandenburger Tor, special event to mark the anniversary, the show started at 2pm today, thousands of viewers are expected, the ceremony before the lift up of the ballons will start at 6pm.
