Climate activists threw soup at the Mona Lisa painting in Paris, demanding the government promote the right to healthy and sustainable food.
The painting, fortunately protected by armoured glass, was not damaged. The activists stated that their actions were part of a campaign for social security for sustainable food.
Following the incident, the museum was evacuated and cleaning crews dispatched.
