Soup-Throwing Protesters Target Mona Lisa at Louvre

Protesters at the Louvre in Paris threw soup at the glass-protected Mona Lisa painting, advocating for the right to healthy and sustainable food. The group responsible, Riposte Alimentaire, stated that the act marked the beginning of a campaign for sustainable food security. The museum's security intervened, and the room was evacuated. France's Minister for Culture condemned the incident, emphasizing the painting's significance to future generations. This is not the first time the Mona Lisa has been targeted, as it was previously damaged in 1956 and stolen in 1911.
