A Labour councillor who shared an article that denied the Holocaust and claimed Hitler was justified in persecuting Jews has been re-elected. 

Belgica Guaña posted an article to Facebook in September 2016 entitled “The Holocaust Hoax and the Jewish Promotion of Peversity,” which claimed: “The so-called ‘Holocaust’ is propaganda in an ongoing war between the Jews and those with the courage to stand up to them.”

She was re-elected to represent Newham’s Canning Town South in this week’s local council polls, receiving 536 votes.

After the JC revealed the article shared by Ms Guaña on Wednesday, the Labour Party said she no longer had its endorsement.
