Denial of Holocaust may also be appealed in Constitutional Court

Nicolas Sarkozy: In case of abolishment of the draft law, the bill criminalizing the denial of Holocaust will also be appealed in the Constitutional Court.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed his discontent as French lawmakers appealed the bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide in the Constitutional Court, the “Le Monde” periodic reported.

According to the source, French President has particularly stated: “In case of abolishment of the draft law, the bill criminalizing the denial of Holocaust will also be appealed in the Constitutional Court.”

77 senators instead of 60 appealed the bill. France’s Constitutional Court has one month to decide if the bill is in accord with the country’s Constitution.
