Thousands of young people are expected to attend the European youth festival Fête de l'Europe next Monday in Dresden. The State Chancellery announced on Friday that more than 3,300 pupils from all over the Free State had already registered and would be arriving in coaches. There will also be young people from Poland, the Czech Republic and France. Last year, around 15,000 guests attended the premiere of the event.
"Freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, the rule of law - all of these European values are more important and relevant today than ever before," said Kretschmer according to the press release. The Fête de l'Europe was intended to carry these messages from Saxony out into the world. He is looking forward to doing this together with thousands of young people.
