Paris is still smoldering after the chaotic weekend ‘celebration’ of the Paris Saint-Germain victory in the European Champions League, an event that turned into a full riot ending with 2 dead and many hundreds detained.
So, in this apocalyptic scenario, what difference does a wax statue make? As it turns out, a lot – since it depicts French President Emmanuel Macron, terrible optics for a super-embattled leader.
Macron is caught in Kiev hiding what many suspect is a bag of cocaine; is slapped by the wife in Vietnam, called ‘a loser’; Turkish President holds his finger in Albania and doesn’t let go in an awkward moment… better go home, right?
As soon as Macron goes to France, a new poll shows that 82 per cent of the French think his presidency has been ‘a failure’.
So, yes, at this juncture, his wax figure theft means a lot.
franceinfo reported (translated from the French):
“The wax statue of Emmanuel Macron was stolen on the morning of Monday, June 2 from the Grévin Museum in Paris, in the 9th arrondissement, franceinfo learned from a source close to the case. An action claimed in the wake of this action by a man presenting himself as a Greenpeace activist. Two people have been arrested, franceinfo learned on Monday afternoon, from a source close to the case.”
Following the daring action, the activists unveiled their real intentions with the statue: they transported the statue to a place in front of the Russian embassy.
“Greenpeace said in a statement that it had ‘borrowed’ the statue from the museum and then deposited it in front of the Russian embassy in protest against France’s economic ties with Russia.
‘For us, France is playing a double game’ and “Emmanuel Macron embodies this double discourse: he supports Ukraine but encourages French companies to continue to trade with Russia’, said Jean-Francois Julliard, director general of Greenpeace France.”
