‘Eco-idiots’: Climate protesters slammed for throwing soup on the Mona Lisa

Climate activists have been criticised for throwing pumpkin soup on Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork. A group called Riposte Alimentaire (Food Counterattack) claimed responsibility for the stunt. The masterpiece was not damaged, as it’s held behind protective glass. People on social media have slammed the two protesters. “Lets stop calling these people activists. They’re not actively doing anything for a cause”, one user posted on X. Another wrote, “Climate activists just saved the planet. They threw soup on the Mona Lisa”.
