Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has demanded the removal of a nude statue depicting Donald Trump from the Slovak National Council in Bratislava. Fico described the sculpture as insulting and questioned the tolerance for similar depictions of other European leaders, specifically mentioning French President Emmanuel Macron and German politician Friedrich Merz. He inquired whether such imagery would be permitted if it featured those figures instead of the former U.S. president. The statue, created by Czech artist David Černý, is part of a larger exhibition of satirical sculptures displayed in the parliament building. Fico’s request has sparked debate regarding artistic freedom and diplomatic protocol within Slovakia. The controversy highlights a growing tension between artistic expression and political sensitivities. The Prime Minister views the statue as a sign of what he perceives as a decline of the European Union’s influence.
