Wax Macron Protests Russia Ties in Paris

Greenpeace activists staged a dramatic protest in Paris on Monday, targeting French President Emmanuel Macron. They removed a wax figure of Macron from a museum and carried it to the Russian embassy, placing it there as a symbol of their protest. The activists' banner, clearly visible in the video, read "Business is Business," highlighting their accusation of Macron's "double standards" in maintaining trade relations with Russia. A spokesperson for Greenpeace, while not directly quoted in the 7NEWS video, has previously stated the group's stance on Macron's policies. The protest highlights growing concerns about the economic relationship between France and Russia, a subject of intense debate in both countries and internationally. The incident underscores the ongoing pressure on world leaders to take stronger stances against Russia’s actions. The symbolic nature of the protest, using a wax figure, has garnered significant attention on social media, making it a newsworthy event with broad appeal.
