Prime Minister Robert Fico on Thursday called for the removal of a satirical statue of US President Donald Trump from the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. The installation, called Orange Plague, was unveiled near the parliament's headquarters earlier this week. Politico Europe ↗
The statue depicts a naked Trump sitting on the shoulders of a small man. The work was created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt. The installation has drawn criticism from the Slovak prime minister, who considers it an unacceptable part of the European Parliament's space. aktuality.sk ↗
Fico also criticized the parliament's leadership. He claims that it can no longer distinguish the right to a different opinion from expressions that he described as the expressions of spiritual vagrants, adventurers and fools. According to the prime minister, the statue also represents a broader problem with the functioning of European institutions. teraz.sk ↗
The artwork was placed near the European Parliament building at a time when the European public space is debating the boundaries of political satire and freedom of expression. However, Fico is demanding that the installation be removed. There is no further information yet on the parliament leadership's next steps in this matter.
