The full parliament is now expected to formally lift her protection from prosecution as an MEP after a vote on the recommendation on July 3, clearing the way for her to face race hate charges in a French court.

 Sajjad Karim, a British Tory MEP on the parliament's legal affairs committee, voted in favour Ms Le Pen losing her parliamentary immunity.

 "There is a red line between freedom of speech and inciting racial hatred," he said. "I, along with many other MEPs, today voted to drop Ms Le Pen's immunity and I am confident that the majority of the European Parliament will follow our lead in July."

Nazis, Jihadist, Communists, and Leftists are all birds of the same feather. Some just do not learn from their past.

I just want to ban words, not criminalize them...for now!
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
