So, speaking of basic freedoms in my home country, there was a good story a week ago. The second-highest ranking member of the Front National, the far right party, said "controversial" things about the Holocaust. The AG asked for a €10,000 fine. How horribly controversial were his statements? Losely translated, here's what he said:

I do not deny the existence of gas chambers. But I am not a specialist in the matter and I think we should let historians discuss it. And this discussion should be free.

Yes, saying that in France is illegal.
