The institute studying the Holocaust in Romania has criticised the gesture of a government official who has published a photo collage comparing President Klaus Iohannis to Adolf Hitler.
The Elie Wiesel Institute for the Study of Holocaust in Romania said it disapproved the gesture of a public official who uses Nazi comparisons for political purposes.
Dana Varga, an aide for "Roma people issues", used her Facebook page to publish a collage with two pictures of President Iohannis and a girl and two images of Adolf Hitler, also in the company of a young girl.
Varga later deleted her post.
This comes a year after a former government official, Darius Valcov, also used his Facebook page to publish a short film with similar messages of association between Iohannis - who is an ethnic German - and Nazi leader Hitler.
