On Monday, Greenpeace activists protested Macron’s climate policies and the ongoing economic links between France and Russia by erecting a statue of French President Emmanuel Macron outside the Russian embassy in Paris.
According to a Greenpeace statement, at 10:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET) on Monday, activists claimed to have “borrowed” the statue of Macron from the Grévin Museum in downtown Paris. The museum houses wax replicas of over 200 public figures.
The statement adds, “Until he has terminated French contracts with Russia and initiated an ambitious and sustainable ecological transition across Europe, he does not deserve to be exhibited in this world-renowned cultural institution.
In front of posters protesting ongoing commerce with Moscow in sectors including gas, nuclear power and chemical fertilisers, the protestors carried the statue to the Russian embassy in the west of the French city.
Behind the monument, which shows a happy Macron clapping his hands, someone raised a sign that said, “Business is business.” “Ukraine is burning, business goes on” was written on another banner. European countries have had difficulty reducing their imports of goods like liquified natural gas (LNG), even though they have pledged to stop using Russian fuel.
