Eco-terrorists activists destroyed the $11,000,000 mansion of footballer Lionel Messi. They painted the walls black and red, broke the windows and made demands: "Help the planet, eat the rich, abolish the police."
Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is demanding €50,000 from activists from the Spanish environmental organization Futuro Vegetal, who poured paint on the facade of his mansion on the island of Ibiza. This is reported by El Mundo. The incident occurred in early August.
Activists from an environmental organization have tried to justify their actions by questioning the legality of the construction of the footballer's house.
Why pay €50,000 for a house that has yet to be demolished. We don't understand how it's possible that we are accused of causing damage where there shouldn't be any!
- said one of the detained activists, Bilbo Basaterra.

According to a representative of Futuro Vegetal, the financial demands made by the footballer are too high. He noted that "water-based paint can be washed off with a hose."

On August 6, activists broke into the Argentine footballer's villa, doused it with red and black paint, and took pictures with a poster that read: "Help the planet - eat the rich." Argentine President Javier Miley criticized their actions, calling their actions cowardice and nonsense.
