In short the article notes the original classical construction of the monument during WW 1 and that the current condition of it would require 50,000 euros to restore. The city government does not want to restore it as it is a danger to those walking around or inside it and the cost of demolition is 13,000 euros. Historians of various nations including local Frenchmen state the monument should not be torn down. The Sedan area was the location of two French military disasters- once in 1870 and again in 1940.
