Two climate activists threw some soup at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum on Sunday and shouted slogans advocating for a sustainable food system. This came as French farmers have been protesting for days across the country against low wages and other problems.
In a video posted on social media, two women with the words “FOOD RIPOSTE” written on their t-shirts can be seen throwing soup at the glass protecting Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece and passing under a security barrier to get closer to the painting. “What’s the most important thing?” they shouted. “Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?”
