Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A far-right Greek political party has asked European Parliament President Roberta Metsola to invite billionaire Elon Musk to speak at the legislature, the party announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The request was made in a letter signed by European lawmaker Emmanouil Fragkos, who represents the Greek far-right party Greek Solution in the European Parliament. \u201cAs part of our efforts to host distinguished and symbolically significant guests, we propose extending an invitation to Elon Musk to address a plenary session,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize the motivations that have driven his groundbreaking achievements, his visionary perspective on global progress, and his insights that could make the EU a hub of creativity and technological advancement, again,\u201d Fragkos praised Musk\u2019s achievements and vision.<\/p>\n

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of social media platform X, has been a polarizing figure in political discourse. He has previously voiced support for Germany\u2019s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Recently, Musk used X to criticize Britain\u2019s Labour government over its handling of a historic child abuse scandal.<\/p>\n

Last week, Musk accused British Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips of being a \u201crape genocide apologist\u201d and called for her imprisonment, as well as for Labour leader and Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step down over alleged failures in prosecuting grooming gangs. He also conducted a poll on X asking followers if “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, Starmer indirectly addressed Musk\u2019s comments during a press conference, denouncing the spread of misinformation and \u201cfar-right rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n
