‘Macron’ stolen in Paris (VIDEOS)

Greenpeace activists have “borrowed” a wax statue of the French leader for a protest outside the Russian embassy

Activists from the Greenpeace environmental pressure group have stolen a wax statue of President Emmanuel Macron from Paris’s Grevin Museum and placed it outside the Russian embassy in a protest against what they claimed to be the French leader’s insufficient support for Kiev.

France has become one of Kiev’s key backers since the escalation of the conflict in February 2022, as well as one of the primary proponents of the idea to deploy a military force into Ukraine – repeatedly floated by Macron.

Paris also cut most economic ties and has consistently pushed for harsher sanctions against Moscow. However, Greenpeace France’s executive director, Jean-François Julliard, nevertheless accused the French leader of “playing a double game,” following the group’s stunt on Monday.

Three Greenpeace members entered the Grevin Museum posing as tourists on Monday morning, according to AFP sources. They then disguised themselves as staff, swiftly removed the €40,000 wax figure of Macron, and transported it to the Russian embassy in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, all while filming the stunt on video.
