French National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen leads a delegation of far-right European politicians to Japan this week where they plan to visit Tokyo’s controversial Yasukuni shrine to war dead.
When asked about the visit to the shrine, which honours 2.5 million Japanese war dead including 14 top war criminals from World War II, the party’s deputy leader Bruno Gollnisch said “bad war criminals are the ones who lost.”
Other Asian countries view the shrine as a symbol of Japan’s wartime aggression.
However Gollnisch said: “We are not going to justify the imperialist policies of Japan 70 years ago. We are going to pay honour to the courage of the unfortunate soldiers who were in the enemy camp.”
The delegation will include representatives of the British National Party (BNP), Austria’s Freedom Party (FPOe), Hungary’s Jobbik, and the Vlaams Belang party of Belgium.
The delegation begin their visit on Thursday, and plan to visit the Yasukuni shrine on Saturday. They are to wrap up their trip on August 18.
The European politicians also plan to meet with members of Japan’s far-right Issuikai, said Gollnisch.

Better beware the Kappa!
There is no such thing as a white-yellow alliance, get that through your head. East Asians despise white people because we have what they want. Don’t be fooled into thinking they like white people when they get major plastic surgeries to look white or try to date white people because they don’t. The Japanese make sure that any non-East Asian company in their country has the most difficult time establishing a costumer base that they leave or have the smallest possible market. The same thing happens in Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam and usually in China as well.
i think that plastic surgeries are becoming a routine procedure for very rich people ”
vanity leads to more plastic surgery procedures. people are becoming more conscious about their appearance `:.
