Activists Protest Stealing Macron Wax Figure
(MENAFN) On Monday, Greenpeace activists removed a wax statue of French Leader Emmanuel Macron from a museum in Paris and relocated it in front of the Russian Embassy.
This act was carried out as a demonstration against France’s commercial dealings with Russia.
According to a press statement from Greenpeace France, "At 10:30 this morning, Greenpeace France activists borrowed the statue of Emmanuel Macron from the Grevin Museum, arguing that he does not deserve to be exhibited in this world-renowned cultural institution until he has terminated French contracts with Russia and initiated an ambitious and lasting ecological transition on a European scale."
The protesters targeted France’s continuing exchanges with Russia, focusing especially on sectors like gas, nuclear power, and chemical fertilizers.
Greenpeace emphasized in their declaration that "Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron has portrayed himself as a champion of resistance against the Russian army while continuing to actively trade with Russia in strategic sectors such as gas, chemical fertilizers and nuclear energy."
Moreover, the activists urged both France and the European Union to gradually eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and to halt imports of nuclear fuel connected to Russia.
The statement concluded with a strong appeal: "Greenpeace France is calling for the implementation of sanctions on imports of Russian chemical fertilizers and the cessation of these imports into French and European soil, without shifting this dependence onto other countries."
