ECO-IDIOTS have thrown soup over the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in their latest shameless climate trick.
Two climate clowns poured orange liquid over a priceless piece of art at a world-famous museum in Paris, France.

A shocking video shows the aftermath as they pelted the lentil soup with the masterpiece.
They then jumped over the wooden barrier and stood proudly on either side of their handiwork.
The duo smugly preached their message to shocked tourists trying to enjoy their visit to the gallery.
Security immediately set up screens to prevent their protest and the soup-smeared Mona Lisa.
Paris police later said they had arrested two people in connection with the break-in.
Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece is believed to be the most valuable painting in existence.
It is estimated to be worth as much as one billion dollars.
And luckily, a piece of world history – which is more than 500 years old – is believed to have remained unscathed by the latest shenanigans.
The Mona Lisa has been protected by glass since the late 1950s – with bulletproof sheeting protecting it from vandals.
Eco-hooligans targeted the image as part of their ongoing campaign of distraction and attention-seeking.
The group is believed to be from a group of activists known as “The Answer to Food”.
The deranged duo told onlookers they were promoting the “right to healthy food” and raged at confused witnesses over the farms.
It’s the latest trick to focus on the image – after someone threw a cream pie at it in May 2022.
The celebrated Da Vinci portrait was painted in 1503 and has become one of the most famous works of art in the world.
More than 10 million people view it annually, and this is not the first time it has been targeted.
It was famously stolen by a museum employee in 1911, and returned two years later.
In 1956, the Mona Lisa was sprayed with acid, while in 2009, a cup of tea was thrown at the painting.
