A list of the 33 most… strange MEPs that emerged in the recent polls for the European Parliament, was compiled with a humorous mood by Politico.

Among them 3 Greeks – the 74-year-old livestock breeder Galato Alexandraki from Alexandroupoli, the president of the Voice of Reason Afroditi Latinopoulou and the imprisoned elected mayor of Chimara, Fredis Beleris – as well as the 25-year-old Cypriot YouTuber Phidias Panagiotou.

First in the “Kooky Group” is Phidias Panagiotou who has 2.1 million subscribers and has amassed 1 million views for his video titled “I Made Elon Musk Hug Me” and 5 million for one called “I Lived in the Airport for 7 Days for Free.”

“If you see him at Brussels airport, it will be because he is on his way to the European Parliament, where he will be an independent MEP and has said he wants to create his own party…” the article reads.

THE Galato Alexandraki – the butcher of Thrace – “maybe she is now the butcher of Brussels?” asks the editor.

“Ms. Alexandraki, 76 years old, is a retired livestock farmer who runs a butcher’s shop in Alexandroupoli in northern Greece. There are no photos of her online. Not even once. But she is so well-known locally that she did not campaign or give an interview — and still won a seat for the nationalist Hellenic Solution party, which came second to New Democracy. He has not yet said whether he will take the position,” the text reads.

A place on the list is also occupied by Aphrodite Latinopoulou (View of body shaming)

civilized

“It was named after the Greek goddess of beauty Aphrodite. Latinopoulou was expelled from the New Democracy party after making a racist comment about a TV presenter. She won a seat with the Voice of Reason party, which supports lifetime tax exemptions for women who have four or more children. He is anti-abortion and anti-immigration and wants to ban members of the LGBTQ community from working in the education system,” he wrote in the caption.

Fredi Beleris – “the imprisoned mayor”

political

“Beleris celebrated his election as a Greek MEP of the New Democracy party in an Albanian prison. Beleris was elected mayor of the Albanian coastal town of Heimarra just days after he was arrested for vote-buying. He was sentenced to two years in prison. Greek politicians have decried the move as an Albanian attempt to thwart the political activities of its Greek minority.”
