Activists have staged high profile protests across Europe in recent months, sometimes targeting museums and art works in calling for tougher action to tackle global warming.Over the last month, the same group hurled soup over a Van Gogh work in Rome, threw a black liquid on a Gustav Klimt painting in Vienna and flour over a sports car painted by the U.S. pop artist Andy Warhol that was on display in Milan.
Police said they had detained five people following the incident at La Scala, while cleaners swiftly removed the paint from the entrance of the theatre. La Scala will open its 2022-23 season on Wednesday, one of the highlights of the Italian cultural calendar, with a performance of the Russian opera "Boris Godunov" composed by Modest Mussorgsky.

Bah! Milaan / Milano LaScala-Opera. Klimaatzielepoten /-activisme. Zonde van de verf.
Is it some new trend to name vandals and criminals as 'activists' ? 🤔
Will probably have to dig up his ex wife
This has to be among the stupidest protests like throwing paint on works of art. This has nothing to do with climate problems.
These clowns should be shipped off to Haiti or South Sudan where they could freely carry out their nonsensical activities
Eco terrorism and ClimateScam
Clowns. These protesters should be in jail.

Nothing but privileged, entitled, children lacking any form of real purpose lashing out at society.
