Feminists from "Futuro Vegetal" have thrown purple paint at the façade of the Episcopal Palace in Barcelona.

On 8 March 2024, a group of feminist activists attached to the group "Futuro Vegetal" threw purple paint against the façade of the Episcopal Palace in Barcelona, in protest at the positions of the Church and of Cardinal Juan José Omella regarding abortion, and trans people. It occurred on the residence of the Archbishop of Barcelona and was accompanied by the display of a banner reading, “The domination of women and nature shares a common cause: patriarchy. For an ecofeminist planet”.
