Wax Macron Protests French-Russia Ties Amidst Ukraine War

Greenpeace's Bold Protest: Macron's Wax Figure in Front of Russian Embassy. Paris witnessed an unusual protest today when Greenpeace activists stole a wax figure of President Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum and placed it in front of the Russian embassy. The action, captured on video, shows activists carrying the figure and placing it next to a banner that read, in French, "Ukraine is burning, business continues." Additional signs mentioned "Uranium" and "Gas." A Greenpeace spokesperson stated, "This is a symbolic protest against the continued business dealings of French companies with Russia while the war in Ukraine rages on." The incident caused a stir among passersby and highlights the ongoing debate about the economic implications of the conflict. The museum has confirmed the theft and is investigating. The protest raises questions about the balance between free speech and property rights, as well as the complex relationship between France and Russia during the ongoing war in Ukraine. This incident is likely to fuel further discussions about corporate responsibility and political activism in the face of international conflict.
