The French version of this article contains far more information (and well-sourced at that) about the holocaust denial section of this article, and reading that article, it would seem that Gollnish's comments were severly distorted. I have finals coming up and thus no time to fix it now, but the tag needs to be put in place until the article is fixed. I intend to translate the French article fully. If you read French, take a look at the French version and you'll see exactly what I mean. Oh, P.S. -- I can't stand the Front National at all, but we should be accurate :) --Zantastik 00:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This section is highly controversial on fr: and even got us legal threats. We should be prudent before copying stuff. David.Monniaux 13:40, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

I suggest to update this part with the ruling of the court :

On January 16, 2007, the court found Gollnisch guilty of Holocaust denial and sentenced him to three-month suspended jail and 60,000 Euros in damages and fine. He was also fired on these grounds from teaching position in Li'on University. [1]

Some detailed info if somebody wants to write, European parliament report on the request for defence of the immunity and privileges of Bruno Gollnisch. (doc, html) --Zache 12:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His Wife

Japanese wikipedia state that his wife is a Japanese. Google search in Japanese show multiple pages stating this as a fact. I'm rather puzzled that there is zero mention of this in Japanese or English media. (I can't read French, I'm afraid.) Is this one of non-AngloSaxon media's habit of make private life of politician off limit? Vapour (talk)
