Budapest (Netavisen): A man with a Nazi tattoo on his neck worked as a security guard inside the square during a toilet in Budapest.

Pictures of the man with the words “SS” around his neck are circulating on social media, and according to German newspaper Bild and Hungarian TV channel ATV, he has now been fired.

Well-known Nazi symbol

Valton Security reported that the man was wearing a hoodie when he was interviewed for the job and hired.

Hence, the tattoo was not discovered until the man went to work on the opening day of the restroom last weekend.

“SS” stands for Schutzstaffel, a paramilitary organization linked to the German National Socialist Party (NSDAP), which acted as bodyguards for Adolf Hitler in the years leading up to World War II.

The organization eventually evolved into the German Army and Law Enforcement Division during the war.

Behind the façade, critics describe Hungary’s athletic attack as “sportswashing” and point to the country’s diverse international reputation.

– Orban has changed Hungary from a promising democracy with economic progress into a trouble-child of the European Union, Gunnar Eklöf-Slidal of the Helsinki Committee told Netavisen to the World Congress.

The World Athletics Championships in Budapest run until Sunday 27 August.
