Socialist French Lawmaker Demands U.S. Return Statue of LibertySimon Kent 17 Mar 2025
The U.S. no longer represents the values of freedom therefore it should send the Statue of Liberty back to France, a Socialist French Euro-deputy demanded Sunday.
Raphael Glucksmann, of the Socialists and Democrats group, told a cheering convention of his Place Publique leftist movement how disappointed he is in the U.S. and why it should not keep what was originally a gift from France:
Give us back the Statue of Liberty.
We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the Statue of Liberty.
We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home.
The Statue of Liberty was unveiled in New York City’s harbour on October 28, 1886 for the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence donated by the French people to America.
It was designed by Frenchman Auguste Bartholdi and has since become an icon of freedom and of the United States itself.
