A wooden statue of Donald Trump burned down completely on the night of Wednesday to Thursday in Moravce, Slovenia (the homeland of Melania Trump), about thirty kilometers from Ljubljana. It is probably an act of vandalism.

Nothing remains of the 8 m tall statue built of wooden planks. She parodied the American president, in a dark suit, red tie, scowl, dressed in a straw-colored wick made of planks erected forward.

An "attack on art and tolerance"

Ironically baptized "Statue of Liberty" by its author, a local architect, the creation was inaugurated at the end of August in a small village. Her presence had ended up disturbing the inhabitants because of the many curious people she attracted. The statue was finally transferred to Moravce last December.

As of its installation this summer, this statue intended to denounce the populisms had warmed the spirits, between groupies and detractors. "It is an attack on art and tolerance, […] against the fundamental values ​​of Europe", lamented the mayor of Moravce, also regretting the loss of an attraction whose installation had cost 1,500 euros .

Shortly after his transfer, the statue was seen wearing a mustache, a clear reference to Adolf Hitler. In August, the architect behind the work explained that his parody project was inspired by the statue of Melania Trump, erected in a field near his hometown of Sevnica. This monument, cut with a chainsaw from a tree trunk and sometimes compared to a “scarecrow”, is still in place.
