Damaged by time and oxidation, this monument representing Victor Hugo, born in the town of Doubs, needed a makeover. But following his restoration, some now consider the color of his face 'too black'. Among them, far-right elected officials who fueled the controversy and attacked mayor Anne Vignot on social networks. On Twitter, MEP and Reconquest executive Gilbert Collard spoke of 'woke madness of the greens' and claimed that 'the EELV town hall of Besançon is erecting a statue of black Victor Hugo against the will of the artist's widow'. 'The city of Besançon has decided to repaint the statue of Victor Hugo black for the sole purpose of joining the trend of ambient progressivism. Literary whiteness becomes a crime," adds Philippe de Villiers. ... After the controversy, however, she clarified that the renovation of the statue was not finished and that it was normal that the colors are not exactly identical, since they come from the oxidation of bronze. "The skater has to interpret a bit. He works in bronze with the aim that his patinas are long-lasting,' she explained to France 3 Franche-Comté. During the press conference on Tuesday, the director of the foundry, Christophe Béry, explained that the initial patina had almost entirely disappeared, and that the restoration had simply made it possible to return the statue to its original colors. It now remains to be hoped that the finish of the patina is not accompanied by a new layer of racism" (22 November 2022). https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/culture/video/cette-statue-de-victor-hugo-a-ete-renovee-a-besancon-et-cela-fait-polemique_210580.html #OrgClassifPPFREuropeEcologieLesVertsEELVAnneVignot #OrgClassifPPFRReconqueteGilbertCollard
