• Two activists stick to Las Majas de Goya in the Prado Museum three days after Madrid alerted Iceta to the lack of security guards

Vox has filed a complaint with the Madrid Court of Instruction against the activists who stuck to the paintings of

Las Majas

de

Goya

in the Prado Museum.

Santiago Abascal's party wants them to be charged with the crimes of resistance and disobedience, public disorder, search of the home of a legal person and against property contemplated in the Penal Code.

In its brief, the formation maintains that the frames of the works, dated

1910

, "were damaged" and that "due to the persistence of the security agents" for the people who staged the protest against climate change to leave the room, they caused that it had to be closed.

With these arguments, the National Legal Deputy Secretary of Vox, Marta Castro, has requested that the Prado Museum forward the identification of the accused and "their cronies", alluding to the journalists from

El Salto

who collaborated in the action.

She has also requested that the art gallery submit the report on the value of the damaged goods.

The party had previously registered an initiative in which it demanded the Government "guarantee the preservation of artistic-cultural heritage in the face of the wave of attacks by climate activists that were taking place in museums around the world."

According to complaints, before "the passivity" of the Executive of Pedro Sánchez, "two young people, helped by two other people", stuck their hands to the paintings of

La Maja Desnuda

and

La Maja Vestida

.

The activists who acted in the Prado belong to the

Futuro Vegetal

organization , a movement attached to Rebellion or Extinction and Scientific Rebellion that seeks to resolve the climate crisis through the adoption of a plant-based agri-food system.
