Validated arrest, but no preventative measures, not even the need to sign, for the activists of the Last Generation who were halted by the police on Monday after the morning blitz with which they had splattered washable paint on the front of Palazzo Madama, the Senate of the Republic. This was established by the judge during the hearing held yesterday, after the prosecutor in his indictment had asked for the obligation to stay. The activists' trial is on May 12. After a series of activities in museums, environmentalists took to the institutions' buildings on Monday. The activists of the Last Generation, who a few months previously splattered Vincent van Gogh's "The Sower" when it was on temporary exhibition in Rome, have in fact splattered the main front of Palazzo Madama, the seat of the Senate of the Republic, with orange paint. At the heart of the action, activists (the action was done by four girls) say, "the desperation that comes from the statistics and increasingly alarming data on the eco-climatic collapse, which has already started, and the indifference of the political world in the face of what promises to be the biggest genocide in human history".
