Romanian mayor in Nazi dress row
A Romanian mayor has been strongly criticised by Jewish groups after appearing dressed in a Nazi uniform at a local fashion show.
Radu Mazare, mayor of Constanza, appeared with his similarly dressed 15-year-old son at the event.
The Simon Wiesenthal human rights centre called on Mr Mazare to admit he made a mistake, apologise and resign.
He added that the uniform was a German army one, not that of an SS officer. And, he said, he had attempted to cover up all the swastikas, although he said he had missed a very small one on the belt.
