“Greenpeace activists on Monday swooped in to snatch French President Emmanuel Macron’s statue from the Grévin Museum — Paris’ iconic wax museum — and hauled it off to the Russian Embassy in a dramatic stunt to protest France’s ongoing business ties with Moscow. ‘Greenpeace France activists borrowed the statue of Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum, believing that he does not deserve to be displayed in this world-renowned cultural institution until he has terminated France’s contracts with Russia and promoted an ambitious and sustainable ecological transition at the European level,’ the French branch of the environmentalist group said in a press release. The nonprofit organization accused Macron of talking tough on Russia when it comes to ending the war in Ukraine but not doing enough to halt French imports of Russian gas and fertilizer.” (06/02/25)
