Notre-Dame de Paris suicide a political act – Marine Le Pen

10:12 – 22.05.13

France’s far-right party party leader Marine Le Pen has paid tribute
to the man who killed himself in the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral,
saying it was a “political act”.

Ms Le Pen, who heads the National Front, said it was aimed at “waking
up the people of France”.

The man was named as Dominique Venner, an award-winning far-right
historian, BBC reports.
In his blog written shortly before his suicide on Tuesday, he
criticised a new law legalising gay marriage.

“All respect to Dominique Venner whose final, eminently political act
was to try to wake up the people of France,” Ms Le Pen wrote on
Twitter.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
