Astrid Lund - Betty MacDonald fan club organizer: "The last generation should rather eat the tomato soup and or throw it at themselves."------- Berliner Zeitung Berlin: Last generation throws tomato soup at the British embassy Article by Eva Maria Braungart • 1 hour • 1 minute reading time The activists also held up posters of the convicted activists. Activists from the last generation threw tomato soup at the British embassy building in Berlin-Mitte on Friday. Videos that the group shared on the X platform show several activists first splashing the facade with soup and then holding up posters. The background to the action is the conviction of several activists in Great Britain who splashed the painting "Sunflowers" by Vincent Van Gogh in the National Gallery in London with canned soup in October 2022. A 23-year-old was sentenced to two years in prison, a 22-year-old received a 20-month sentence. The activists belong to the group “Just Stop Oil”, which works closely with the Last Generation. The “oppression of peaceful climate activists in Great Britain” is intolerable, said the Last Generation in a statement on X.
