SYRIZA candidate sparks outrage with controversial brothel remarks
Apostolos Gletsos, a candidate for SYRIZA leadership, raised eyebrows on Wednesday suggesting that brothels in Greece should bring in sex workers from migrants’ countries of origin to address their “testosterone” levels, arguing that without such outlets, young male migrants might turn violent.
Speaking during a TV interview, he claimed brothels currently reject migrants due to “a smell” and insisted that finding a solution to this issue should be a priority.
Gletsos further warned that without addressing these needs, migrants could become rapists or murderers due to rising testosterone.
His comments were blasted across political and social circles as offensive and inflammatory.
