The fight against climate change has intensified significantly in recent years, above all due to the greater media weight of Greta Thunberginvolved in many interventions in which she accused politicians and tycoons of not having at heart the future of the earth and consequently that of the new generations.
However, sometimes the situation degenerates and what can be a just protest becomes something more like what happened in the National Gallery in Londonthen a famous painting by Van Gogh exposed there – and which deeply shook public opinion, which immediately branded the incident an act of vandalism.
Van Gogh, what is the destroyed painting and what happened
In the last few hours, environmental activists have invaded the National Gallery in London and threw soup in protest at Van Gogh’s masterpiece sunflowersfrom the alarmed looks of other guests.
A gesture obviously picked up by everyone and also reported by the British media through one of the many videos that have been circulating on the web during these hours (and which we propose below and are shared by the Euronewsgreen Instagram page).
The gesture was, as expected, motivated as a protest against politics regarding the climate emergency. In particular, government policies are being questioned Liz Trusswhich it recently replaced Boris Johnson as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
According to British ecologists, the policy of the (currently Conservative) government is indeed a real step backwards and for this reason with the slogan “just hold oil“Have started raids and hit-and-run operations in different parts of the country, mostly affecting public places and transportation.
This time, however, according to public opinion, she has really gone too far, especially if we consider that the cost of a painting of enormous value (it was estimated at 80 million euros) had to be paid by an author who has nothing of this kind of problems to do.
