Jean-Marie Le Pen Suggests Ebola as Solution to Global Population Explosion
Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s far-right Front National, has suggested the deadly virus Ebola could solve the global “population explosion” and by extension Europe’s “immigration problem”.
At a cocktail party before an election rally in Marseille on Tuesday evening, days before the European elections in which the FN is leading the polls in France, Le Pen spoke of the “demographic explosion” in the world.
“Monseigneur Ebola could sort that out in three months,” he said in front of journalists.
Later, addressing supporters, Le Pen, 85, said he feared the French population risked being “replaced … by immigrants”.
