PARIS — Parisian pundits have kept occupied this week as Marine Le Pen suspended her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, from his position as honorary president of the far-right Le Front national (National Front) that he co-founded in 1972, for having repeated his views that the Nazi gas chambers were only a historic “detail” (he has been convicted 18 times for professing similar holocaust-belittling remarks). The remark came from a recent interview he gave with extremist newspaper Rivarol, where where he also called for a defense of the “white world” against immigration. But most Parisians seem to have overlooked the radical, anti-fascist, irony-soaked, “top-down” demonstration by the international women’s movement Femen that took place on May 1, three days before Jean-Marie’s suspension, in opposition to the hysterical (if hoary) National Front.
