The dream of a single European home, the prospect of which was set by the first president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, failed and turned into a nightmare. Frank-Walter Steinmeier said this, as KP writes, speaking in Berlin at the Congress of the Association of German Trade Unions (DGB). He thanked the “allies in the West and East” who liberated Germany from Nazism, and remembered the generations of politicians who worked to ensure that there would never be another war in Europe.
“But today, this May 8, the dream of a single European home has collapsed, a nightmare has taken its place. This is May 8 – War Day,” the German president said, calling the situation “an epoch-making breakdown” and a break with much that “was taken for granted.”
May 8, the anniversary of the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht in 1945, is celebrated in Germany as Liberation Day. It is not usually a holiday (unless it falls on a Saturday or Sunday), but commemorative events are held on this day, especially on round anniversaries of this event.
