What is tea with Lady Liberty?

Raphaël Glucksmann is a member of the European and co -chair of a small left party in France. He did not claim to talk about all his citizens. However, he gave a speech last week that shakes the table and raises social media. Glucksmann participated that some Americans “chose to shift alongside tyrants.” His comments are among the European gossip that raises the transformations of President Donald Trump in foreign and local policy.

“They brought us back to the statue of freedom,” said Glksameman. “It was our gift to you. But it seems, you despise her. So you will be happy here with us.”

In additional comments, Glucksmann has emerged about the Trump administration, which has been reported to have been funded by research institutions. “The second thing we will say to the Americans is:“ If you want to launch the best researchers, if you want to launch all the people who, through their freedom and their feeling of innovation, their taste for doubt and research, make your country the leading power in the world, we will welcome themThe politician stated.

Can France really extract the statue of freedom?

The short answer? dream. UNESCO, the United Nations cultural arm, notes that the iconic monument is the ownership of the United States . The organization has a statue in the list of international heritage treasures. It was initially seen as a huge gesture of French -American friendship to celebrate the 100th of July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence.

Then, a war led by Prussia was transformed between France and the German states in 1870, the power designer, a French sculptor called Frédéric-euguste Bartholdi. Therefore, Lady Liberty’s financing is late. In the end, the French agreed to pay the price of the statue, and the Americans will cover the cost of the statue. After transferring it in 350 pieces from France, the statue was officially unveiled on October 28, 1886.

French politician alone … now

France, the country, does not call for a statue of freedom to return home. French -American relations will have to get off a cliff before Ghlixmann finds support from the government of French President Emmanuel Macron. Currently, the French president tells a high line. Macron tries to work with Trump and relieves some of his policy transformations on the one hand. On the other hand, it also declines strongly against some White House decisions, especially Trump’s induction height.

However, Macron, Prime Minister, Francois Bayro, allowed it to be a more important voice. Payro tore the “brutality” showed by Trump and Vice President GD Vans to Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinsky during his visit to the White House. In addition, it suggested that the Trump administration risked the delivery of victory to Russia when it stopped military aid to Ukraine.

But the Glksman party was more important. She published accusations on its website that Trump is practicing power in a “authoritarian” manner and “is preparing to hand over Ukraine on a silver dish” to Russia.

At the end of last weekend, Gloxsman referred to New York Emma Lazaros about the statue. She previously wrote, “The Great Woman with a flame” who promised a house for “frozen masses that yearn for breathing.”

“Today, this land stops being what it was,” said Glksamen.
