Conservative French Politician’s Proposal to Immigration Influx: ‘Ebola’

Jean-Marie Le Pen, a far-right French politician and founder of the France’s conservative Front National party, offered a solution to France’s ballooning immigrant population: the deadly virus Ebola.

Le Pen recently warned supporters that a “demographic explosion” threatens to replace French nationals with immigrants.

“In our country and in all Europe, we have known a cataclysmic phenomenon – a migratory invasion that, my friends, we are seeing only the beginning of today,” the conservative French politician said.

“Monseigneur Ebola could sort that out in three months,” he added.

Le Pen’s party is leading in the polls in France ahead of European parliamentary elections taking place from May 22 to 25.
