Protesters disrupted the serene atmosphere of the Louvre in Paris by throwing soup at the iconic Mona Lisa painting. The demonstrators, advocating for "healthy and sustainable food," aimed to draw attention to agricultural issues. Despite the commotion, the painting remained undamaged behind protective glass. The group responsible, Riposte Alimentaire, called for food integration into the social security system and proposed a monthly food card for citizens. Museum security swiftly intervened, and the room was evacuated as a precaution. France's Minister for Culture condemned the act, emphasizing the painting's significance as part of the country's heritage. The Louvre announced plans to file a complaint against the perpetrators.
