Several Italian environmental protesters have thrown pea soup on a Vincent Van Gogh painting on display in Rome before sticking to the gallery wall. It is a new attack that adds to a long list. In France, Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior, has already described these acts as ” ecoterrorism “.

The attack, this time directed at ‘The Sower’, by Van Gogh, was carried out by four young people from the Last Generation group, who shouted slogans against global warming and fossil fuels.

“These issues should be on the front pages of news channels and on political agendas every minute, but instead are only being addressed by ‘outrageous’ actions like this morning,” the group said in a statement.
