The Estonian Justice Minister, Rein Lang, has celebrated his birthday with a party held under a swastika flag, according to local press reports.

Guests were invited to join the celebrations at a pub decorated in the style of a Munich beer house of the 1930s, and were asked to dress accordingly.   The highlight of the evening was a theatrical performance, “Adolf”, a monolog of Adolf Hitler before his suicide.   The stage was decorated with a large Fascist flag.   Some local politicians and NGOs have called for the government to dismiss the minister.
