Hungary's Siófok Open To Kossuth Tér Statues
- 23 Feb 2012 8:00 AM
"Siófok has decided in principle to display the statue of Mihály Károlyi and the Kossuth memorial which the cabinet plans to remove from Kossuth tér outside Parliament, spokeswoman Ana Kozma said yesterday.
She added that the Lake Balaton resort would be willing to host the statues because of their artistic qualities and connection to the town.
Parliament decided last summer to remove the statues in order to restore the look of Kossuth tér to its pre-1944 appearance."
