Climate activists from "Futuro Vegetal" threw red paint on historic painting of Christopher Columbus at the Naval Museum of Madrid to stop global warming or something.
The painting, by 19th-century artist José Garnelo, is titled "First Tribute To Christopher Columbus" and depicts the explorer landing in the Americas with a Christian cross.
EuroNews reports the two liberal women were arrested.
Police sources reported that both women were arrested for a crime against heritage after being detained by a museum worker until authorities arrived.
Visitors were evicted during the intervention but hours later, the Navy announced on its social networks that the painting had been restored and that the work was once again on display.
The rapid restoration of the canvas allowed not only the painting to be recovered, but also part of the serenity of the space that surrounds it.
Here are the workers removing the paint:
The activists unfurled a banner reading 'October 12, nothing to celebrate. Ecosocial justice.' Futuro Vegetal said the act denounced the 'extractive neocolonialism' that continues to exploit Indigenous lands and natural resources.
"Ecosocial justice."
Here's a longer video showing the nutsos being dragged kicking and screaming out of the museum like the petulant children they are.
You know who else tried to stop the Spaniards by worshipping the sun god and "mother earth"?
