German Unity Day
Other incidents include a walkout conducted in 2007 by the Left's delegation in the [[Landtag of Saxony]] during a [[German Unity Day]] ceremony in protest of the presence of [[Joachim Gauck]], former East German pro-democracy campaigner and later [[Federal Commissioner for the Stasi Records]], who was the keynote speaker at the event. The Left's state leader André Hahn claimed that Gauck did not deliver an "appropriate or balanced speech", arguing he had "an absolutely one-sided view of the GDR."
