Romania - Jewish group slams Nazi uniform mayor
A Romanian mayor has been criticized by Jewish groups after appearing in a Nazi uniform at a local fashion show.
Costanza mayor Radu Mazare and his 15-year-old son were both dressed in the uniform.
Jewish human rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Centre has called on Mr. Mazare to admit he made a mistake, apologies and resign.
Mr. Mazare says his choice of costume was inspired by the 65th anniversary of the 1944 assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler.
He says the uniform was a German army one, not that of an SS officer.
