France calls for criminal penalties for attacks on paintings

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] French Culture Minister Rachida Dati has called on the Justice Ministry to introduce criminal penalties for protests in which participants “attack” paintings and other works of art, Le Figaro newspaper reported on June 2.

What a clever idea!

“This destruction of art by criminals cannot be justified in any way. This needs to end,” the head of the department told reporters.

Duthie called for legislation to be adapted to what she considers a new type of crime. The minister said that vandals who desecrate works of art are attacking the most noble component of the unity of France - culture.

As Regnum reported, on June 1, an environmental activist calling for the fight against climate change covered the painting “Poppies” by the impressionist artist Claude Monet with a red poster. She also glued her hand to the wall and shouted that the world by 2100 will look like the Sahara Desert, and not what is shown in the painting.

In February, at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts, two environmental activists also chose a Monet painting for their vandalism action. They poured soup on the “Spring” canvas.The purpose of the action was also to declare that the world was allegedly facing an environmental disaster.

In January, environmental vandals poured soup on Leonardo da Vinci's La Gioconda (Mona Lisa) in the Louvre Museum in Paris. They explained their action as a desire to promote the right to healthy and sustainable food.

#2 It's a cowards way of not enforcing what exists, "let's have new legislation." The perps are not paying attention to the existing ones.
