Leo Messi's Ibiza villa vandalised by climate activists
Environmental activists are doing everything they can to draw attention to the issue of the climate crisis. They often emphasise that the wealthiest people in the world have a huge impact on the deteriorating state of the planet. This time, they targeted Leo Messi's villa in Ibiza, whose façade was vandalised.

The climate crisis is ongoing. It's visible at every turn, practically every day. Increasingly warmer days, droughts in many places worldwide, massive floods, and terrifying fires are not surprising and have become something people have to deal with. It shouldn't be like this. That's exactly what environmental activists are talking about. They want top politicians and influential people to understand that the climate crisis can be stopped. Unfortunately, many do not want to listen, often viewing activists as overreacting alarmists.
Climate activists also emphasise how the wealthiest people in the world are responsible for the crisis related to temperature and the planet's condition. They regularly criticise Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Travis Scott. All because they use their private jets and organise flights lasting several minutes. This undoubtedly exacerbates the climate crisis. The same goes for one of the most popular footballers, Leo Messi. On Tuesday, 6 August, he was called out for his irresponsible behaviour.
Climate activists destroyed the facade of Leo Messi's villa
Well-known and respected people worldwide could undoubtedly influence many countries' climate policies. They can also persuade the people who follow them on social media to start living more ecologically. Unfortunately, many of these well-known and beloved individuals do not use their potential to help change the world realistically. Among them is Leo Messi, one of the most popular footballers who ever lived. Spanish activists criticised him for this.
On Tuesday, 6 August, at 3:00 PM (GMT), a certain photo and video appeared on the social media of the Futuro Vegetal group. It turned out that climate activists found Leo Messi's villa and then vandalised its façade. They doused it with black and red paint. This is to remind everyone that the wealthiest are the most responsible for deepening the climate crisis. The President of Argentina did not appreciate their behaviour. He called it "insane and cowardly".
"The villa is an illegal construction that the footballer purchased for an astounding sum of 9 million pounds. During this time alone, in the Balearic Islands, between one to two people have died as a direct result of the heatwaves. [...] While the far right blames the crisis on migrants and demonstrates extreme violence against them, those of us fighting for a better world have no doubts that the problem is social inequality. Let's address the root causes," - read a statement from Spanish activists on social media.
