German ministers say Russian gay law smacks of dictatorship
None
Two German cabinet ministers have added to criticism of Russia's anti-"gay propaganda" law, saying President Vladimir Putin appeared to be leading his country into a "flawless dictatorship".
The words chosen by the two members of the Free Democrats (FDP), the party of the Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, himself gay and a critic of the legislation, plays on comments by former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder that Putin was a "flawless democrat". (Reuters)
