Elon Musk wrote on his own social network "Ex" that "Brussels is no longer Belgian", citing data from the Belgian far-right, local media reported. The reason for his statement was information presented on a website created by the far-right Belgian party "Vlaams Belang", BTA reported.
The website states that "almost three out of four newborns" in the Belgian capital are of non-European origin. The media note that the data on the website does not directly lead to such a conclusion. The website was created by the far-right party five years ago and summarizes data on asylum and migration in the country. According to "Vlaams Belang" Such a site is needed because the country lacks sufficiently clear and accessible information on migration.
It is explained that the claim was initially spread by Australian entrepreneur of Lebanese origin Mario Noufal and is related to the number of immigrants who arrived in Belgium under the family reunification legislation.
Belgian media noted that Musk has been taking a position on the issue of migration for years and insists that left-wing politicians are using immigrants to attract more voters dependent on governments, which undermines democracy. He recently wrote that "Europe will soon no longer be Europe" if the birth rate does not increase and if a mass return of migrants is not undertaken.
