NEW DELHI: Climate activists from the group Futuro Vegetal spray-painted the mansion of Argentina football star Lionel Messi on Tuesday, aiming to highlight the "responsibility of the rich for the climate crisis." The activists displayed a banner before covering the building with red and black paint.
In a dramatic protest, campaigners released a video showing two members standing in front of Messi's house near Cala Tarida on Ibiza's western coast. The activists held a banner that read: "Help the Planet -- Eat the Rich -- Abolish the Police" before spraying the white facade of the building, AFP reported.
