Front National founder shocks France by saying a deadly Ebola epidemic would solve the country's problems with immigration and world's population 'explosion'
Henry Samuel in Paris and Bruno Waterfield in Brussels 6:04PM BST 21 May 2014 The deadly Ebola virus could solve France's immigration problems "in three months", Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder and honorary president of France's far-Right Front National, has said in remarks which have shocked the country's political establishment.
Speaking on Tuesday night in Marseille shortly before a joint rally with Marine Le Pen, his daughter and current party leader, Mr Le Pen, 85, said: "There is a demographic explosion in the world and a risk of submersion. A replacement of (the national population) is under way."
However, he added: "Monsieur Ebola can solve the problem in three months." Ebola is one of the most feared infectious diseases in the world and there is no specific treatment or vaccine for the viral haemorrhagic fever. A current outbreak in Guinea has killed at least 83 people – the first in Western Africa in 20 years and the first time that Ebola has been confirmed to have crossed international borders.
Mr Le Pen, who is running to be a euro MP in the South East constituency, made the inflammatory remarks ahead of a public speech during an exchange with French journalists, many of whom relayed his comments.

It’s inevitable. Either war, plague or famine. War being last as it’s the most disorderly.
Not exactly helping his daughter’s campaign
So the same people who celebrate the ACT of abortion are “shocked” by these WORDS?
Hmmm. Maybe they're not so dumb after all!
What, he thinks no French people would get it?
And anyway, ebola isn’t very good for massive death because it kills people too quickly.

Actually it is if it is genetically modified, you have UN resources and a desire to rid the planet of 5.5 billion lesser citizens.
It sounds better in French.
Malthusian fears of population explosion are another thing held in common by the global elite Left and the European Far Right. But they still hate each other.
That's true in rural communities where it wipes out a village before it can be spread to a neighboring community. In an urban area it could really wreak havoc.
Leftist environmentalists only seem to worry about overpopulation and pollution by whites (who, ironically, certainly aren't overpopulating). When it comes to championing open borders for third world immigration, their concerns about "overpopulation" and "the environment" suddenly vanish.
Le Pen was not quite correct in that it's not really the "right" disease for that in our culture - contagion is usually through direct contact with infected blood or other body fluids, although it can be transmitted on needles and apparently by sexual contact (the "donor" has to have survived it first). The nastier urban epidemics tend to be water-borne (cholera) or aerosol (influenza, smallpox, measles, pneumonic plague), where contagion can take advantage of population density.
Not that the stuff isn't incredible deadly once you catch it. The people at worst hazard are care-givers and people preparing corpses for burial. That, in Africa, tends to be family members. Here and there, my undying admiration goes to doctors and nurses who maintain their composure and continue their duties in the presence of this stuff.
With the European Parliament elections this Sunday, Jean-Marie Le Pen campaigned with his daughter, Marine, on Tues night at a campaign rally in Marseilles. Overconfident or worried? Good luck or kiss of death?
She has tried to separate herself from her father, with his long history of anti-semitism, xenophobia, and racism, and anti-Americanism, I might add. MLP has been leading the center right UMP 44-42, just a few points, until now. Socialists are at 16%.
Two things might influence the elections:
1. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy made his first political statements since leaving office in an Op-Ed in the right wing magazine le Point. He called for an end to open immigration (Schengen I ) and a new agreement to strictly limit border crossings (Schengen II) as well as a practical problem for dealing with France’s problems. His popularity is at an all time Hugh, and Hollande is at 10%. If he makes a true comeback, as it seems he will, in a runoff election between Sarko and MLP, Sarko would win in a blowout landslide.
2. The statements of JMLP might remind voters that the FN is not a true right wing, Conservative party, but a neo-Nazi neo-fascist party. His statements on Ebola are just so over the top, would be MLP voters may have second thoughts.
The picture of them kissing on stage in Marseilles, might be the “Baci di morte” that puts a dent in her Presidential ambitions. She’ll have to wait, at the very least, until the old man is dead. She’ll also have to stop dancing at Nazi balls in Vienna.
FAR RIGHT NATIONAL FRONT WINS BIG IN FRANCE IN EU ELECTIONS ~ SOCIALISTS WIPED OUT.
FN 25%
UMP 20.3
PS 14%
Please keep in mind that the FN, the far right of the Le Pen family in France has nothing in common with the right and conservatism in America.
This is, IMO, a protest vote against the failure of the ruling Socialist Party concerning insecurity, immigration and incompetence, a failure to re-institute secure borders, high taxation, and lowered standard of living.
France has huge problems, but the Statist, totalitarian, program of the FN does not offer a real solution. It doesn’t deal with the underlying structural weakness of the Vème République, and adds to the mix, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalist, xenophobia and anti semitism that brought France to the brink of extinction in WWII.
