CENTRAL EUROPEAN DEMOCRATIC FORUM
ESTABLISHED IN HUNGARY. Thirty-five Christian
Democratic and national-liberal parties from Central Europe
have set up a new international body called the Central
European Democratic Forum (CEDF), Hungarian media
reported yesterday. Meeting in the southern Hungarian city of
Lakitelek, the parties pledged to work together to overcome
left-wing forces in the region and elected former Polish
President Lech Walesa as honorary chairman. Walesa said the
forum has "to make society understand that the right is far
more capable of solving the problems of society than forces
which formerly were enemies of NATO, capitalism and
democracy."
