A wax figure of Emmanuel Macron was stolen from a Paris waxwork museum by several people claiming to be Greenpeace environmental activists. According to police sources, two women and a man entered the Musée Grévin, in central Paris and left through an emergency exit with the statue, worth €40,000 (£33,700), hidden under a blanket. The activists took the waxwork to the Russian embassy and stood it on the street in protest against France’s economic ties with Russia.
