In Paris, Greenpeace activists protesting France’s business dealings with Russia were photographed stealing a wax statue of French President Emmanuel Macron.

The environmental group stated its members “borrowed the statue of Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum” on Monday, arguing “he does not deserve to be exhibited in this world-renowned cultural establishment until he has terminated French contracts with Russia and initiated an ambitious and lasting ecological transition on a European scale.”

The group added that later that day, activists took the statue of Emmanuel Macron to the Russian embassy in Paris and unfurled a banner denouncing current dealings with Russia.

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

A Greenpeace spokesperson noted, “There was no confrontation with museum security because we had planned everything carefully to ensure it happened quickly,” adding that the activists entered as regular visitors before going to the room with the Macron statue.

The news agency reported that other activists waited in a getaway car outside, and the group intends to return the statue at an unspecified time.

The Grévin Museum’s website states that its Macron statue is among over 200 wax figures of celebrities on display.

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

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