Jean-Marie Le Pen (born 20 June 1928) is a French-Breton nationalist who served as President of the National Front (now the National Rally), from 1972 to 2011.

Le Pen was cited in 1989 during the AIDS crisis saying:

AIDS is a plague acquired through the the plague of homosexuality and its perpetrators should be isolated in special sanatoria.[1]

In December 1991 Jean-Marie Le Pen was guest-of-honour at a Western Goals Institute (WGI) formal dinner at London's Charing Cross Hotel, which resulted in a Far-Left riot in front of the hotel causing some damage and requiring a heavy police presence.[2]. In 1997 WGI circulated a leaflet to mainstream UK conservatives in which Le Pen is cited as saying "the millions of unassimable Black and Asian immigrants are NOT British." The Institute added that "the time has come to embark upon an ambitious, well-funded and humane repatriation programme of all those non-British, non-European people who have come, or were born here, say, since 1960. They must adopt the citizenship of their and their families’ countries of origin."[3]

Le Pen is stated to have expressed certain skepticisms regarding the Holocaust, Holocaust uniqueness, and the politically correct view on the French State, the German World War II military occupation, and has been involved in related legal cases, such as for alleged "Holocaust denial". As a result, he was expelled from the party, now led by his daughter Marine Le Pen, in 2015. He then founded the Comités Jeanne party.
