VOICED : Estatua de Juan Pablo II siembra discordia en un pueblo frances

The video discusses a controversy in Plogmel, France, over a statue of Juan Pablo II topped with a cross, which conflicts with the 1905 law mandating state neutrality in religious matters. The debate highlights the tension between cultural heritage and legal secularism. While some view the cross as a tourist attraction, others see it as a violation of laicism. The ex-mayor suggests a referendum, while the current mayor proposes privatizing the land to bypass the law. The issue reflects broader debates in France about religious symbols in public spaces, especially given the country's high number of atheists.
