Gyula Horn (born on 5 July 1932, in Budapest) is a Hungarian politician and the third Prime Minister of the Republic of Hungary, from 1994–1998.
He is remembered because as the last Communist Foreign Minister of Hungary, he played a major role in the demolishing of the "Iron Curtain" for East Germans in 1989, contributing to the later unification of Germany, and for the Bokros package, the biggest fiscal austerity programme in post-communist Hungary, launched under his premiership, in 1995.

A crazy salad with their meat
Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.”
