The upcoming edition <a href=\"https:\/\/websummit.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in Lisbon in November<\/a> had listed the controversial French politician among its speakers.<\/p>\n<p>But conference organizer Paddy Cosgrave <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paddycosgrave\/status\/1029686610932248577\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said on Twitter<\/a> on Wednesday he had reconsidered the move and uninvited Le Pen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on advice we have received and the large reaction online overnight, her presence is disrespectful,\u201d Cosgrave said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are ambitious to be a recognised platform for rigorous debate. In recent years, weve added dedicated private and public stages specifically for robust dialogue on contentious and defining issues of our time. But weve still much to learn,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The decision came a day after Cosgrave defended his decision to put Le Pen on the speakers list. On Tuesday he published an <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@WebSummitHQ\/what-are-militant-anarchists-leftist-trade-union-leaders-right-wing-populists-and-libertarians-3fe7b1ecc7b2\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">extensive blogpost<\/a> explaining why he was inviting fringe political figures like Le Pen to the gathering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWeb Summit is a place where people should be prepared to have their opinions deeply challenged, and in turn to deeply challenge the opinions of others,\u201d he then wrote.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/steve-bannon-attempts-his-political-comeback-donald-trump\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Bannon attempts his political comeback<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/marine-le-pen-uninvited-from-web-summit\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europes largest technology conference withdrew an invitation..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
