Romanian MP punished after Holocaust comment
Rumunjska je kaznila senatora zbog komentara o Holokaustu
"Opinions such as those voiced by senator Sova (picture) offend the memory of Romanian Holocaust victims and breech the law on Holocaust denial," said the Elie Wiesel Institute.
BUCHAREST (AFP)---A Romanian lawmaker who stirred an outcry by denying late pro-Nazi dictator Ion Antonescu's responsibility in the Holocaust was punished Wednesday by his Social Democrat Party (PSD).
Opposition senator Dan Sova had said that "historical data show that a total of 24 Jews were killed during the Iasi pogrom by the German army."
He also claimed on a television programme that "no Jew suffered on Romanian territory, thanks to marshal Antonescu".
Opozicijski senator Dan Sova je rekao " povijesni podaci pokazuju da je ukupno 24 Židova ubijeno od njemačke vojske u Iasi pogromu" .
On je također tvrdio na televiziji da " ni jedan Židov nije patio na Rumunjskom teritoriju, zahvaljujući maršalu Antonescu".
Gospodin Sova je napravio strrašnu pogrešku. Od sada on više nije PDS glasnogovornik, rekao je Victor Ponta lider Socijal-Demokratske partije na konferenciji za štampu.
Sova će biti poslan u Washington da posjeti Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Mislim da svi oni koji imaju krivu percepciju povijesti, trebaju se suičiti sa istinom, evidencijama, slikama", rekao je Ponda.postoje povijesni događaji koje mi svi moramo znati i priznavati.

Historians say 13,000-15,000 Jews from Iasi, northeast Romania, were murdered in the streets or asphyxiated in "death trains" in June and July 1941 in one of the worst single Holocaust massacres.
Between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews died in Romania and the territories under its control, according to an international historians' commission headed by Nobel Peace laureate Elie Wiesel.
The Elie Wiesel Institute for the study of the Holocaust in Romania on Tuesday voiced "disagreement and outrage over the Holocaust denial statements" made by Sova.
"Opinions such as those voiced by senator Sova offend the memory of Romanian Holocaust victims and breech the law on Holocaust denial," it said.
Sova later said he had not intended to "deny the suffering of the Jewish people or the responsibility of the Romanian authorities of the time".
Two Romanian NGOs, Romani CRISS and MCA Romania, announced Wednesday that they had filed a criminal complaint against Sova, saying "the senator's denial statements have been explicit and his apology must reflect that he regrets and assumes his error and not what might have been misunderstood or misinterpreted".
