Greenpeace's Bold Protest: Macron's Wax Figure Stolen and Displayed at Russian Embassy

Greenpeace Claims Responsibility for Macron Wax Figure Theft in Paris Paris, France – In a bold act of protest, Greenpeace activists stole a wax figure of French President Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum early Monday morning. The group later claimed responsibility, placing the statue outside the Russian embassy in Paris. The action highlights Greenpeace's criticism of Macron's perceived double standard regarding the war in Ukraine and France's continued reliance on Russian natural gas. According to France Info, three individuals entered the museum disguised as employees. They then removed Macron's wax figure, concealing it under a blanket before exiting through a service exit. A Greenpeace spokesperson stated, "Macron's actions betray a double standard. While he publicly condemns the war, France continues to profit from Russian fossil fuels, directly supporting the war effort." The spokesperson added, "This action is a symbolic representation of the hypocrisy we see in the French government's approach to the Ukraine conflict." The statue, now displayed prominently near the Russian embassy with signs reading "Business is Business," serves as a stark visual protest. The incident has sparked widespread debate about the role of fossil fuels in international conflicts and the responsibilities of world leaders. The Grévin Museum is cooperating with authorities to investigate the incident.
