Vaclav Havel
19-01-2012 11:14Why writing about Havel? Maybe because I have always considered him as one of the major heroes and a key player for the important revolution occurred in Europe in the late 20 century.
Vaclav Havel is also considered as the icon of the anti-communist dissidence and has incarnated the Velvet Revolution. Vaclav Havel, last president of the ancient Czechoslovakia, led this country to the Revolution that allowed the birth of a democratic multiparty nation, the Czech Republic, in 1993 becoming thus it first president till 2003, just a few months before the Czech decided to adhere the European Union.
Vaclav Havel started to become noticed during his youth, in the 60s, when he started to criticize the Czech politics and after the Prague Spring, he became extremely active against the totalitarian regime in Prague. In 1977, as one of the co-author of the Charter 77, he was immediately recognized as the leader of internal opposition, being thus persecuted and imprisoned several times.
Vaclav Havel, by the power of the writing, and his recognized intelligence achieved, without violence, a vital revolution in Czechoslovakia. He reached to put an end in a totalitarian regime, by his vigorous dissidence. In my honest opinion, we, the world, were not fair and he should have been attributed a Nobel Peace Prize. It had been simply our best recognition to one of our last heroes, not only for the Czech, but also for us, THE WORLD!
