France's Le Pen Insists Nazi Death Camps Were 'Detail'

EU Business: French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen caused a storm in the EU parliament Wednesday by insisting that the Nazi death camps were a “detail of second world war history”.



Already at the centre of controversy over the possibility of the veteran MEP presiding over the chamber’s next inaugural session, Le Pen said he was the victim of “inflammatory accusations” by the parliamentary socialist group head, German euro MP Martin Schulz, who had branded him a Holocaust denier.
