Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez criticized billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday for his involvement in European political matters, alleging that he is jeopardizing democratic values.
Sanchez remarked, “The international far-right, which we have been combating in Spain for years, is led in this instance by the wealthiest individual in the world, who openly assaults our institutions, fosters hatred, and supports the descendants of Nazism in Germany,” referring to Musk without explicitly naming him.
The Prime Minister made these comments during a ceremony in Madrid marking the 50th anniversary of dictator Francisco Franco’s death. Musk recently engaged in Spanish political discourse by commenting on X about an article that indicated that most rape convictions in Catalonia were attributed to foreigners.
Sanchez emphasized the vulnerability of democracy, stating that it faces a significant existential threat. “If history teaches us anything, it is that freedom is never permanently secured,” he added.
