Greenpeace Activists Steal Macron Wax Figure in Protest Against Russian Energy Exports

In a bold act of protest against Russia's continued energy exports amidst the war in Ukraine, Greenpeace activists in Paris stole a wax figure of President Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum. They placed the statue outside the Russian embassy alongside signs reading, "Ukraine is burning, business continues." The stunt, captured on video, has gone viral. A Greenpeace spokesperson stated, "We are highlighting the hypocrisy of European nations continuing to profit from Russian energy while Ukraine suffers." The protest raises questions about the balance between political activism and the potential for damage to cultural institutions.
