The court order decision provoked a strong response from the late pontiff\u2019s native Poland.<\/p>\n

Poland\u2019 prime minister, Beata Szydlo, offered to have the statue relocated to Poland, to save the statue from \u201cthe dictates of political correctness\u201d and\u00a0\u201csecularization of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur great Pole, a great European, is a symbol of a Christian, united Europe,\u201d she said, according to the Telegraph.<\/p>\n

Since its arrival, the statue has been a source of controversy, drawing some criticism from locals and the secularist National Federation of Free Thought, which campaigned for the statue\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n

The court stated that the cross\u2019 \u201cpresence in a public location is contrary to the law\u201d, Le Point reported. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Szydlo responded that religious censorship is undermining the values of Europe and is a nuisance to Europeans. Secularization and the dictatorship of political correctness is \u201calien to our culture, which leads to terrorizing Europeans in their everyday life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The ruling has also received backlash on Twitter, where people have been protesting the court\u2019s decision by using the hashtag #montretacroix (show your cross). France\u2019s conservative parties have decried the decision, labeling the ruling as \u201cmadness\u201d and \u201cdestructive to the country\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Le Diffon, the mayor of Plo\u00ebrmel, called the statue a work of art and opposed its dismantling. However, the mayor said he would not like to start a religious battle and mentioned the possibility of bypassing the problem by selling the public land to a private investor.<\/p>\n
