Activists from the Futuro Vegetal group are said to have entered the Argentina icon's home in Ibiza on Tuesday, throwing red and black paint at the exterior of the house. The Spanish group also unfurled a banner that read 'Help the Planet - Eat the Rich - Abolish the Police' and took responsibility for the attack, criticising Spain's environmental policies "that aggravate the climate crisis, as well as the unequal responsibility for it."
