French member of parliament Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann demanded that the United States return the Statue of Liberty to France. Glucksmann argued that Americans have sided with tyranny and accused the U.S. of “firing” its best researchers. He insinuated that this individuals, through freedom and innovation, were the reason for our being the leading power. Glucksmann, a strong supporter for Ukraine, criticized President Donald Trump’s Ukraine policies.<\/p>\n

A French Parliament member is demanding that the U.S. return the Statue of Liberty to France, who gifted it to the Americans in the 1880s.<\/p>\n

Center-left politician Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann made the comments at a recent convention of his political party, Place Publique.<\/p>\n

“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,'” he told supporters, according to Le Monde, a French newspaper.<\/p>\n

“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So, it will be just fine here at home,” he added.<\/p>\n

France presented the Statue of Liberty to America on July 4, 1884, before it was later unveiled in New York City on Oct. 28, 1886, by then-President Grover Cleveland for the centennial of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
