Greenpeace activists were documented stealing a wax figure of French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to protest the nation’s business relations with Russia.

The environmental organization stated that its members “borrowed the statue of Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum” on Monday, claiming “he does not deserve to be displayed in this globally recognized cultural venue until he has ended French contracts with Russia and launched a significant and enduring ecological transition across Europe.”

“Later, they headed to the Russian embassy in Paris, bringing the statue of Emmanuel Macron, to display a banner condemning ongoing business with Russia,” the group mentioned.

Images showed two men hauling the wax figure of Macron through the streets of the French capital.

Photos previously taken at the museum showed the Macron statue standing next to one of former President Joe Biden. 

“We do not deny the political, diplomatic, and financial support of France and Europe for Ukraine,” Greenpeace France director Jean-Francois Julliard said to Reuters.

“But if we want to be coherent and consistent, we cannot, on the one hand, support Ukraine and, on the other, continue to import such massive amounts of gas, chemical fertilizers, and uranium.”
