Brandenburger Tor upplyst i EU-färger på Europadagen

Brandenburger Tor i Berlin lystes upp i EU-flaggans färger på Europadagen. Landmärket lyste i blått sken från solnedgång till midnatt under lördagen, tillsammans med EU-flaggan och parollen «Förenade i mångfalden».

Belysningen markerade Berlins firande av den europeiska enheten. Regerande borgmästare Kai Wegner sade i ett uttalande från senaten: «Genom upplysningen av Brandenburger Tor på Europadagen firar vi den europeiska enandet».

Europadagen infaller varje år den 9 maj. Den högtidlighåller den deklaration från 1950 av den franske utrikesministern Robert Schuman som grundade Europeiska kol- och stålgemenskapen och lade grunden för dagens Europeiska union.
