The Columbus statue in Mexico City was surrounded on October 12th “Columbus Day” to prevent the demonstrators from smearing and destroying it.

Is Columbus “the greatest navigator in human history”? Columbus “discovered the new continent of America” ​​changed the course of history. Whose course of history?

In October, while commemorating “Columbus Day” in many parts of the world, there were more and more reflections and examinations of the history of Christopher Columbus “discovering the new continent of America” ​​more than 500 years ago.

In Belgrave Square in central London, someone poured paint on the statue of Columbus on the square; this statue was a gift from Spain to the United Kingdom in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s discovery of America. Robert Poll, the founder of Britain’s “Save Our Statues” rights protection campaign, criticized the smearing of the statues as “an attack on Western civilization.”

In Mexico City, the city government has decided to replace the Columbus monument with an unnamed female aboriginal sculpture.
