Parliament
Bans Symbols

Budapest (JTA) — The
Hungarian Parliament has
passed a bill banning the
display for non-educational
purposes of the Nazi
swastika and several other
political symbols.
The resolution, passed last
week in a 130-73 vote with
23 abstentions, aimed to
limit the display and use of
insignia associated with
autocracy.
Also included in the ban
were the SS badge, the
arrow cross of the wartime
Hungarian fascists, and the
Communist symbols, the
hammer and sickle and the
red star.
Opposition members of
Parliament voted against
the bill because they did not
agree with banning the red
star, as it is used in many
different states and flags.
Furthermore, the red star
is accepted in Western
Europe as a broad symbol for
the political left, although
that is not the case in
Hungary.
Those who distribute,
display or use in public these
insignia could be punished
by up to a year in prison or
by a fine.
Exceptions to the ban were
made for uses or displays
done for the purposes of edu-
cation, science, art or pro-
viding historical informa-
tion.
Impetus for the new bill
came out of a demonstration
of skinheads last October in
front of the Parliament
building on the anniversary
of the 1956 revolution
against the Communists.
The Hungarian police
came under criticism be-
cause they failed to remove
from the square young
skilheads who wore ultra-
s rightist SS symbols.
1-lungary's efforts to com-
bat neo-Nazism as well as its
sensitivity to the victims of
Nazism was also demon-
strated this week during
commemorations here of
Holocaust Remembrance
Day.
Thousands of young people
marked the day with a
torch—light processon.
Afterward, a unique com-
memoration was held at the
Madach Theater, attended
by Parliament Speaker
Gyorgy Szabad, who is Jew-
ish, several government and
church leaders, party and
social organization officials,
foreign diplomats and
leaders and members of the
Hungarian Jewish commun-
ity.
