On the west coast of the Spanish island of Ibiza, it now has a completely different face. The facade of Lionel Messi’s city has been repainted by Spanish environmental activists, with red and black paint.
Night action
They claim they wanted itBe careful of “The Responsibility of the Rich in the Climate Crisis” aiming for the villa “illegal” of the Argentine sportsman.
On the environmental association’s Instagram account, we see two activists posing in front of the dirty facade. They filmed themselves spraying paint at night and hung a banner in front of the villa where we can read: “ Help the planet, eat the rich, defund the police.”
Are the rich the biggest polluters?
To justify its action, the ‘Futuro Vegtal’ collective cites a 2023 Oxfam report which means that the richest 1% of the planet emits as much greenhouse gases as the poorest two-thirds of the population.
Lionel Messi has bought this villa which includes a wellness centre with sauna and a cinema room for approximately 11 million euros in 2022according to the Spanish press.
But the former PSG attacking midfielder hasn’t yet been able to live with it: the authorities did not provide the certificate of habitabilitya document to be able to occupy the premises. In question, several rooms were allegedly built on the property without permissionaccording to Spanish media.
