Melania Trump Statue Mysteriously Vanishes from Slovenia
A bronze sculpture of Melania Trump, erected in Slovenia, has been stolen, prompting an ongoing police investigation.
The disappearance of a bronze statue of Melania Trump, located near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia, has triggered a police inquiry. The police reported that the statue, which has stood for several years, was stolen at some point earlier this week. Alenka Drenik, a spokesperson for the local police, stated that the exact timing of the theft remains unclear.
Local residents are speculating on the motives behind the statue's disappearance, with varying opinions emerging from the small population of around 5,000. Some believe it may have been an act of vandalism, while others suspect it might have been melted down for its metal value. However, most citizens of Sevnica do not perceive the incident as a political statement regarding the first lady, who rarely engages with the public.
Igor Pavkovic, a lifelong resident of Sevnica, expressed indifference towards the first lady’s presence, recalling that he found it humorous upon seeing the statue for the first time. The bronze statue, envisioned with an emotive pose, failed to resonate with the townspeople. It was originally carved from a linden tree, unveiled in 2019 by an artist using a chainsaw for a creative yet rough depiction of Melania Trump.
Since her departure from Sevnica in 1985, Melania has not been seen in the town, further distancing the connection between her and the local community. As the investigation continues, the fate of the sculpture remains uncertain, leaving the locals to ponder the true story behind its disappearance.
