 @bade302b I didn't know the true motive wasn't known! I assumed it was right-wing politics/fascism related. 

I'm sorry for your loss (and to all the other people it affects.) 
 @80f2f770 At the moment nobody knows why it was done, or who did it. They just turned up in the middle of the night and cut the tree down. It's a mystery. The country is incensed because it was a local landmark and an important/famous sight that people travelled to see.
