Pavol Čarnogurský (22 January 1908—27 December 1992) was a influential Slovak People's Party politician in the Slovak State and afterwards an anti-communist dissident. He was a member of the Slovak parliament from 1939 to 1945, including when it passed anti-semitic legislation. Čarnogurský said^[citation needed] that he abstained from the vote on Decree 68/1942, which legalized the deportation of Jews from Slovakia. His son, Ján Čarnogurský, became prime minister briefly after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.[1][2]
