French MEP Raphael Glucksmann has responded sharply to comments made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt regarding his remarks on the U.S.'. He expressed regret for perceived comparisons to tyrants and emphasized the historical bond and sacrifices shared by France and America, particularly in the context of World War II. Glucksmann's comments reflect concerns over the current U.S. administration's policies, particularly in relation to science and political stances toward authoritarianism, contrasting them with the values symbolized by the Statue of Liberty.
Our two people are intimately linked by History, the blood we shed and the passion for freedom we share, a passion symbolized by this Statue that was offered to the United States by France to honor your glorious Revolution.
The America of these heroes fought against tyrants, it did not flatter them. It was the enemy of fascism, not the friend of Putin. It helped the resistance and didn't attack Zelensky.
