TL;DR Summary

Climate activists threw soup at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris, advocating for a sustainable food system amid ongoing French farmers' protests against low wages and other issues. The activists were arrested, and the Louvre employees placed black panels in front of the painting. The "Food Riposte" group called for better access to healthy food and decent income for farmers, while angry farmers have been using tractors to set up road blockades and slow traffic across France. The government announced measures that farmers found insufficient, prompting threats to block main roads leading to Paris, with the Prime Minister acknowledging the need for short, middle, and long-term solutions.
