The Mayor of Venice was quoted by the city's FB Page:

❗️St. Mark's Basilica defaced❗️

This morning the blitz of climate activists who smeared the outside of the Basilica of San Marco in #Venice appears to have been done with liquid mixed with mud.

💬Luigi Brugnaro: “Enough is enough, it is legitimate to express your dissent, but always respecting the law and our cultural and religious heritage. Our City takes concrete actions to protect the environment. Vandalism is certainly not the correct method to find solutions."

Potranno arrestarci tutti, ma non cambierà il fatto che le loro menzogne presto porteranno il conto.
