ABCAmid the idyllic calm of a sleepy corner of northern Slovenia, the unlikeliest of disturbances intrudes — an irate villager on a tractor ploughing into a huge effigy of US President Donald Trump. Key points: The 8-metre statue was inspired by the first lady's sculpture in Sevnica The creator says he wants people to think about democracy After protests, the effigy will be burnt on October 31, Halloween The scene unfolded this week in the village of Sela pri Kamniku, around 30 kilometres north of the capital, Ljubljana, in the homeland of Mr Trump's wife Melania. "For the first time since World War II, populism is prevailing: look at Johnson, look at Trump, our president or Orban," Mr Schlegl said. After pressure from the villagers, the sculpture will be burnt on October 31, Halloween Another critic laments that "the fact that Trump is a Slovenian son-in-law is no reason to build him a statue. Sela pri Kamniku's statue is one of a fast-growing canon of Trump sculptures in the Alpine republic.
