The US President George W. Bush in person congratulated Emil Constantinescu, an ex President of Romania, for his contribution to mark Romania's separation from communism, informs the ex President's press office.
Emil Constantinescu was congratulated while in Washington in June 12, attending the reunions dedicated to the Victims of Communism Memorial. Emil Constantinescu attended the event as member of the International Council of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, established in 1997. He was accompanied by Marius Oprea, a president of the Institute for Research on Communist Crimes.
The monument unveiled in Washington last Monday was built due to the financial contribution of the Czech government and of the main political parties in the Czech Republic, according to the CTK Agency. It is first of all meant to honor the victims of communism and communist dissidents and also to inform future generations about the threat consisting in totalitarian regimes.
