Video shows two protesters hurling soup at Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” painting and calling for the right to sustainable food systems. The protesters, who represented the French organization “Riposte Alimentaire,” were taken away by Louvre security guards.

These comments lol….BUT THEYRE USING FOOD TO PROTEST FOOD I CANT HANDLE THAT. ILL LEAVE A CLEVER COMMENT TO THAT EFFECT. LOOKOUT JEFF FOXWORTHY, HERE I COME.
Here we go Again! Art is taking a beating.
Sure it isn’t the original one
Are they Biden supporters? They look crazy enough.
never met a magat that was normal.
And what was the point of doing that? Is that the best you can come up with? Your really a bunch of idiots!
it got them on national news dummy. that’s a succesz
WHY ARE THE FRENCH PEOPLE SO UPSET? THEY ARE NOT going to take it anymore!!!!! VIA LA FRANCE!!!!!
At least there is window glass protecting the original painting from getting destroyed
Stupid people protesting for the wrong reasons
I wonder if these ladies and their supporters would be mad at the things I’m mad about if I threw paint at them and be understanding about it.
What did the museum do to you?
Feminism reconversion?
Since when is the Mona Lisa area that empty? Usually it’s brimming full of annoying tourists.
Not sure of this particular specie but bears strong resemblance to American democrat mentality.
Attention seekers throwing tantrum. 👶 👨🍼 🚼 🍼
I hope this teaches Leonardo Da Vince lesson!!
Why do they always look so miserable.
Because they are. They are just people who have miserable unhappy lives, and their big brains tell them that if they drag everyone down to their level, then they’ll be happy.
Liberal misery merchants mad at daddy.
The liberals in France are just like the idiots here in the US.
🤣🤣🤣 Lenatics be lunaticing too much these days!
I hope she liked the soup. 😅
Some ppl don’t respect even when u are out some ppl don’t respect even themselves as family friends strangers neighbors don’t have respect for themselves as too ppl but then u see who what they end up being that are no good 😮some ppl u can talk as some ppl already know there are no good
But why her?
Horrible
Ah… put them in Jail? For a change.
This why in America we a system called ( bitc$Slap )
So dumb
Instead of getting the protesters away from the place, they are covering up the spot ?
The French really are different 😅
That is your brain on Communism. aka Climate Change. bs.
You know this happens too much when they had a cover ready.
Brave
Idiots
Disgusting
Dispicable
End of democracytl this system failed I’m freelance after 9 to 10 hours worked pay tax highest and rents I have nothing 0️⃣ I worked for my self and after three months when I pay tax then I realised I’m slave of Government
I’m center left, and I still think it’s achieving nothing
jobless bums
Climate is due to folar fusion changes. Climate change is a communist scam
Facists against art.
I swear that glass panel gets vandalized more than some streets here in Los Angeles
QUESTION? Was It Tomato Soup!
Idiots
🤙🤙🤙😂🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🖕😎🖕
Fidiots.
Delete this video!!
The two least effective protests are: 1) Blocking traffic and 2) Throwing stuff at an art masterpiece, especially one that’s protected by glass. Nobody will ever care about the cause, only the ignorance and inconvenience of the protesters actions.
this has nothing to do with Jesus, that’s all I know don’t blame God
Well they made a point and no harm was done. They got a few seconds of fame. What were they protesting ❓
Let’s talk about hunger by wasting soup. Idiots.
Waste of good soup bro 😮😢
Unless strong deterrents for this behavior are put into place, it will only result in further fueling public anger, and ultimately pitting citizen against citizen. The legal system has a huge responsibility in avoiding any further escalation which may result in jeopardizing public safety. So they have a choice to either continue to contribute by turning a blind eye to this uncheched problem and just wait until someone is seriously injured, or finally taking a stand to resolve these matters.
As much as I agree with your statement…I’m not getting my hopes up for the Legal System ⚖️
I have to agree. For rhe longest time I always thought the U.S.A. and western countries were going to just keep getting better and better, but unfortunately that’s no longer the case.@@MrHDE-ex6xl
That’s not the original. It’s protected in a vault. Lol
Pretty empty in there. Looks like a Biden rally. Good day to go to the Louvre.
Her pronouns are She and French Onion.
Although animal or human images ( or statues ) are condemned in the Bible , there are too many of this in this world . Live in the jungle if you want to avoid it .. Deuteronomy 4:16 – beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves in the form of any figure the likeness of male and female..”
I’m glad it’s protected from these idiots
Globalist activists
These people are so ridiculous……all they are doing is bringing attention to themselves not their cause…….🤪
And they wonder why people “deny the science”
Disgusting protestors 😡😡
i think the mona lisa would be proud of these protesters if she knew how much her paintings where selling for as i would think when mona lisa was sitting for a portrait she would only of got a few pennies for her portrate good on you protesters because you cant take a picture to your grave can you also the money the picture fetched should be given to mona lisa relatives sounds fair.
Is that why she is smiling with her look?
Our people and culture are making Russia look like THE absolute Chad of the planet.
Why are there so few people there? 😆
this is all B.S………WHO CARES………. Go learn something… Paint your own MONA
And these people really believe the world is going to end in 10 years.
This is stupid.
Morons
It’s always crazy white women
Climate change is real. It has been going on for 4.5 billion years.
These fanatical groups can potentially be extremely dangerous. Where do they draw the line? Is taking a life to get their point across the next phase. These are things that we need to think about.
First, I’m all for activism but this is Vandalism. Stop calling them Activists
and they say flipping burgers at mcdonalds is being a loser
Didnt this already happen? Am i the only one remembring something like this?
No you aren’t the only one
At least this one had protection
Stupid…😮
STUPID
I wish these idiots would protest outside the homes of CEOs who runs companies like Nestle and Pepsi Co. An art museum is a stupid place to protest for a sustainable food system.
They made art in the process.
pumpkin soup for Mona Lisa… how they even passed security check point
Yeah how did that happen. Someone’s going to lose their job.
Thick froggies
Luckily the original is always locked in a supersafe vault, this is a perfect painted replica.
Na im pretty sure this is the original
Horrible liberals.
I don’t know if they are but I would say they are extreme radicals and just horrible and nauseating to see this as if it accomplishes anything talking about food and wasting a good amount of soup on poor Mona Lisa and Leonardo.
If they are supporting for healthy foods why are they throwing it
great praxis
Jokes on them, the painting was behind glass.😂
Lemme guess by vandalizing museum property n knowing the country had fallen on hard times all they are trying too say, is give them a chance ?
Those people throw soup on the mona lisa needs to stop.
Lol liberal women
Attention seekers
Idiots!
They should go try this in a muslim country
What’s wrong with people these days? If you want to show your support for a cause just strike directly to the people or corporations you consider the enemy. If you deface something like a piece of art that belongs to all of us, you only get my absolute disapproval.
Others among the group, who destroys historical artefacts and symbols are; ISIS, authoritarians, dictators etc.,
Parents, pay attention to what your brats are up to. Even if they’re of age.
Farmers are being driven out of business because of unrealistic laws and demands, that’s why they are all pushing for food sustainability. It’s wild how I see people roll their eyes or outright attack these two in droves for “wasting food” and “damaging the Mona Lisa” when it’s protected by glass, but then the same people cheer on saying they’ll stand by the farmers burning an entire truckload of peppers and blocking all major highways into Paris for the same exact protest.
Proof of human devolution right here
Liberals acting like liberals.
Turned Mona Lisa’s smile into a frown.
Couldn’t be more Stu. pid.
Product of progressive liberalism!! Absolutely ignorant people!!
I don’t know what’s dumber, throwing soup on an iconic painting to make a political point or believing that climate change is real.
The western liberalism since 1945 in a nutshell. If anything people will be AGAINST what they protested for
Painting is protected idiots
