Visitors look on as a statue of German revolutionary thinker Karl Marx is being unveiled on May 5, 2018 in his native city Trier, southwestern Germany.
The statue by Chinese artist Wu Weishan is a present of China to the city of Trier on the occasion of Marx' 200th anniversary. Germany marked the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth, but celebrations risked being marred by protests as the revolutionary philosopher remains a divisive figure almost three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall. / AFP PHOTO / dpa / Harald Tittel / Germany OUT 10/01/2017 - 08:01
