[HIGHLIGHTS] “The stolen friend”: British Museum social networks overheated by calls to return a statue from Easter Island

Chilean Internet users demand the return of a moai statue from the British museum. The British Museum's social networks are overwhelmed with messages written in Spanish.

The movement was launched by influencer Mike Milfort, from Santiago, followed by a million followers. His call to return the monoliths even reached the screen of Gabriel Boric, the president of the South American country, who voiced his support for the cause on the radio. The Hoa Hakananai'a, one of the two moai exhibited in London, is of significant importance for Rapa Nui.
