"My name is Csaba Tamas. I'm a travel guide and I work for Yellow Zebra, and on behalf of the Expert Village, we're having this tour around the city of Budapest today in Hungary. The Parliament building was built in Neo-Gothic architecture style and it is not just close to the tram number two, but you can reach it with the red metro line and it has a stop named Koshut Square. Koshut was a Hungarian politician and took a really important part in the uprising against the Austrians 1848-1849 and that's why the square uses his name and it is why they built the Parliament building. Symmetrical design, upper house and lower house used to be working in the Parliament until the First World War and the political systems were changing. And then finally, the Communist regime started to run the country after the Second World War, then they didn't need an upper house and lower house. There was only one important decision-making group. Those were the Communist Party members and the government of course - the same party."
