Climate change activists vandalized one of the world’s most famous paintings of Christopher Columbus in the Naval Museum in Madrid today. 2 young female activists from “Futuro Vegetal” threw red paint over “First Tribute to Christopher Columbus” which was painted in 1892 on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Columbus first voyage to the New World. The activists said they vandalized the painting to denounce “extractive neocolonialism exploiting Indigenous lands and natural resources”
