Colonizer Statues Relocated
November 8, 2019
By: Mary Pravus

In a step to de-emphasize the influence of Essena’s colonizers Chancellor William Calaway has allowed statutes and monuments dedicated to Spain and Germany to be moved from public spaces to museums. Chancellor Calaway has said that “These statues honor people who have abused Essenians and the only place they belong are in museums; it is only appropriate.” Critics opposed to the removal of the statues have said that history should not be tampered with and are afraid that Calaway is rewriting history by snuffing out the dark times in Essena's history. It is rumored that Chancellor Calaway wants to ban Spanish and German Empire flags from the nation. Critics against the Chancellor have said these order might violate the Constitution of Essena because the issue should be decided by the National Assembly. For now though the Assembly has not opposed the Chancellor’s order to relocate the statues and monuments but with rumored more orders to come the Assembly may get involved.

With the order Spanish statues and monuments will be moved but it has raised the question on how to differentiate between a Prussian work vs. a German work. Art and History Expert Lawrence Aragon says "When deciding the government will pay close attention to make sure the work in question is a German work and not Prussian. Yes, there will be some overlap but we will take each work on a case by case basis."
