"Climate Activists Hurl Soup at Mona Lisa in Louvre Protest"

Two climate activists threw soup at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre Museum in Paris while advocating for a sustainable food system, prompting Louvre employees to evacuate the room and leading to the arrest of two people. The activists, associated with the group Riposte Alimentaire, called for better access to healthy food and decent income for farmers. The incident occurred amid ongoing protests by French farmers seeking better remuneration and less red tape. This is not the first time the Mona Lisa has been targeted in a climate protest, as a similar incident involving cake occurred in May 2022.
