Macron's Wax Figure 'Kidnapped' in Protest Outside Russian Embassy
Wax Statue of Macron 'Stolen' and Placed Before Russian Embassy Paris, France – In a bold act of political protest, a wax statue of French President Emmanuel Macron was stolen from the Musée Grévin and subsequently placed before the Russian embassy in Paris on Monday morning. The incident, captured on video by RTL, shows several individuals, identifying themselves as Greenpeace activists, carrying the statue and a large banner reading 'L'Ukraine brûle, les affaires continuent' (Ukraine is burning, business continues). "This is a symbolic action," explained one of the activists in a brief statement to RTL. "We are highlighting the ongoing business dealings between France and Russia while Ukraine suffers." The Musée Grévin confirmed the theft and is cooperating with authorities. The incident has sparked debate on social media and raises questions about security at the museum and the nature of political protest in a public space. The statue was later recovered and returned to the museum.
