    Polish Town Considering Reagan Statue

    AFP:
    Soviet monument to make way for Reagan: report

    Feb 09 1:10 PM US/Eastern

    Opponents of Poland's former communist regime reportedly want to pay a posthumous homage to US President Ronald Reagan by erecting his statue in the place of a Soviet-era monument.

    In an open letter to the mayor of the southwestern city of Katowice, the former anti-regime activists said that the staunchly anti-communist Reagan had been a "symbol of liberty," the Polish news agency PAP reported.

    As a result, they said, he deserved to become the centrepiece of the city's Freedom Square, replacing a monument to the Soviet troops who drove out the occupying Nazis in 1945.

    They also said that they wanted the site to be rebaptised "Ronald Reagan Freedom Square."
