Climate activists target Messi’s mansion in Spain’s Ibiza
Climate activists spray-painted Lionel Messi’s mansion in Ibiza, protesting wealth inequality and climate change. The group, Futuro Vegetal, targeted the property, claiming it was illegally constructed. Argentine President Javier Milei condemned the act, calling it “cowardly and crazy.” Messi reportedly bought the mansion in 2022 for €11 million. The activists have previously staged similar protests, including gluing themselves to paintings at Madrid’s Prado museum. AFP
