TL;DR Summary

Two climate activists threw soup at the glass protecting the "Mona Lisa" at the Louvre Museum in Paris, advocating for a sustainable food system and better conditions for farmers. The activists, associated with the "FOOD RIPOSTE" group, called for a state-sponsored health care system equivalent for healthy food access and farmer income. The incident led to the arrest of two individuals and prompted Louvre employees to evacuate the room. This action comes amid ongoing protests by French farmers seeking better remuneration and protection against cheap imports.
