Freedom Express Commemorating Fall of Communism in Europe to Arrive in Budapest

(MTI) – An international social and educational trip dubbed Freedom Express, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the fall of Communism in Europe, is to arrive in Budapest on Wednesday.

The project initiated by the Warsaw-based European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) is travelling through Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany. After stops in Gdansk and Warsaw, it will stay in Budapest for two days.

After the express arrived in Budapest, the organisers presented the itinerary for the stay which starts with a visit to the Memento Park where Communist-era statues are on display.

ENRS director Rafal Rogulski said Freedom Express is transporting 20 young people from 10 European countries and Costa Rica, all born after the collapse of Communism in Europe. Hungary is represented by Anna Rubi, currently a film student in Switzerland.
