French MEP Demands Statue of Liberty’s Return to France
French MEP Raphael Glucksmann called for the return of the Statue of Liberty, arguing that the U.S. no longer embodies the values it symbolized when gifted to America. His remarks, delivered at a political convention, criticized the Trump administration’s policies, particularly cuts to research funding and dismissal of scientists. Glucksmann also invited affected American researchers to relocate to France. This action is a response to perceived threats to democracy and scientific freedom in the United States under the current administration.
