Two Slovak MPs on Wednesday donned yellow stars symbolizing the Holocaust in protest at the "dangerous" parliamentary debut of a far-right party they condemn as "fascist," AFP reports.
The opposition MPs wore the stars to an inaugural session of parliament following the country's March 5 election in which the Our Slovakia party won 14 seats.
Ondrej Dostal, an MP with the liberal SaS, told journalists it was 83 years since the German Reichstag "approved the intention of Hitler's government to pass laws without Parliament" turning Germany into a Nazi dictatorship.
"It's significant that exactly 83 years after this act, Slovak fascists have marched into the Slovak parliament. It's dangerous and we want to highlight this," he said.
