Le Pen's shock at Iranian president's Holocaust comments
French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been convicted several times of making anti-Semitic remarks, said today that he was shocked by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s comments calling the Holocaust a myth.
Le Pen joined widespread condemnation of the Iranian leader’s remarks, which European Union foreign ministers called “totally unacceptable” in a statement yesterday.
