Gyula János Horn (5 July 1932 – 19 June 2013)^[1] was a Hungarian politician who was the Prime Minister of Hungary from 1994 to 1998.

Horn was the last Communist Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary. He played a major role in demolishing the "Iron Curtain" for East Germans in 1989, contributing to the later unification of Germany. During his premiership, he launched the Bokros package, the biggest fiscal austerity programme in post-communist Hungary, in 1995.
