Greenpeace's Daring Macron Stunt Exposes France's Russia Ties

Greenpeace's daring protest in Paris highlights the complex relationship between France and Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The organization's audacious theft and placement of a wax figure of President Emmanuel Macron in front of the Russian embassy underscored their claim that France continues to profit from business deals with Russia, even as it publicly supports Ukraine. A spokesperson for Greenpeace stated, "While Ukraine burns, France continues to profit from business with Russia." The video shows three activists, disguised as tourists, entering the Musée Grévin, changing clothes to appear as employees, and removing the wax figure through an emergency exit. The incident sparked significant debate on social media, with many questioning the ethics of France's relationship with Russia. Greenpeace later confirmed that the wax figure was returned undamaged, ensuring the protest remained symbolic rather than destructive.
