Pheidippides and His Potential Candidates

The article focuses on the criticism directed at Member of the European Parliament Pheidippides for his frequent controversial statements and actions. Specifically, it refers to his recent offensive comment about people with intellectual disabilities, which sparked strong reactions. The author points out that the problem is not only Pheidippides' behavior, but also the lack of distancing from candidates who sought to be included in his ballots, as well as from those who will seek to cooperate with him in the future. Disappointment is expressed over Pheidippides' rudeness, as demonstrated during a conversation on a podcast, where he continued to eat while speaking. The article concludes by emphasizing that criticism should also extend to those who choose to associate with Pheidippides, despite his controversial views.
