Labour suspends councillor exposed by the JC for sharing ‘The Holocaust hoax’ article

- BY FELIX POPE

VA NEWHAM LABOUR councillor who shared an article that denied the Holocaust and claimed Adolf Hitler was “completely justified” in persecutin­g the Jews has been suspended from the party after the JC exposed her.

Belgica Guaña, who was standing for re-election on Thursday, shared the piece entitled “The Holocaust Hoax and the Jewish Promotion of Perversity” on Facebook in February 2016, which was uncovered by Labour

Against Antisemiti­sm researcher­s.

Several hours after the JC broke the news online on Wednesday, the Labour said Ms Guaña was no longer a candidate endorsed by the party. It is understood that the councillor, who was first elected in 2018, has been administra­tively suspended pending investigat­ion. While suspended members are not allowed to run for Labour, as Ms Guaña submitted her election forms before her suspension she cannot be removed from the ballot. The article shared by Ms Guaña says: “The so-called ‘Holocaust’ is propaganda in an ongoing war between the Jews and those with the courage to stand up to them — a war that began with the National Socialists coming to power in Germany in the 1930s and continues to this very day. “The Jews do not have the means or the numbers to defeat Europeans with the force of arms so they have to rely mainly on infiltrati­on, subversion, and economic and psychologi­cal warfare, with the Holocaust hoax being the best example of the latter.”

It continues: “The Germans were completely justified in persecutin­g and expelling the Jews (which is all that was actually happening), just as we would be today.

“Hitler and the National Socialists freed Germany from the death grip of the Jews and gave it back to the German people.”

It describes Anne Frank as a “bisexual degenerate” and says her diary is an, “obvious fraud… laced with pornograph­ic and sexually subversive passages”.

The article concludes: “In fact, as hard of a pill as it is to swallow, the Jews are using their made-up story of genocide as the primary tool to pull off a very real, much worse genocide, with the entire White race as their victims.”

It ends with a picture of Adolf Hitler with the words “you should have listened” superimpos­ed on top.

A Labour Party spokespers­on said: “The Labour Party takes all complaints seriously. They are fully investigat­ed in line with our rules and procedures, and any appropriat­e action is taken.”

Ms Guaña has been contacted for comment.
