Seymour criticises Waititi for insane views about African leader
Rawiri Waititi praised Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso's leader, as his "modern day hero," sparking criticism from Deputy PM David Seymour. Seymour called Waititi and Te Pāti Māori a threat to democracy. Traoré, who seized power in 2022, is seen by some as a symbol of resistance to the West but has faced criticism over human rights violations.
