Eco-warriors now target Balearic hotel
Climate change activists Futuro Vegetal have now targetted a hotel in Ibiza. After vandalising Leo Messi’s mansion on Tuesday, videos of which went viral all over the world, they have decided to change their target and now take on a hotel on the island. The Leonardo Royal Hotel in Santa Eulària has been the victim of the new graffiti attack by the environmental group.
The entrance to the building was sprayed with red and black paint, the same as that used on the Argentinean star’s villa. In fact, the activists are the same. Futuro Vegetal activists posed with a banner in front of the paint-covered façade. This time they read “Leonardo Hotels finances genocide”, alluding to the fact that the hotel brand is Israeli, and criticised the actions of the government in Gaza, Palestine and the Middle East as a whole.
The two activists have been arrested.
On its website, the groups states: “Faced with a consumerist, globalised and interdependent society, which fails in the management of natural resources and seeks its own profit despite the consequences of the Climate Crisis, we propose to change the ethics of abundance, the way of producing and consuming, focusing on food security and land redistribution.
“We demand the government to end subsidies to livestock farming and use them to promote socially and ecologically responsible plant-based alternatives to address the necessary change in the food system. The fight against the Climate Crisis has to be the number one priority.”
