Wouter Mouton (48) crashed riders, smeared artwork and struck at the Belgian Cup: “My actions are justified”

He is vegan, does not drive a car, never takes the plane, only buys second-hand clothes, lives on green energy and carefully chooses his bank on ethical grounds. But Wouter Mouton (48) is mainly known for his climate actions. Today an action during the Tour of Bruges resulted in a crash. He previously struck during the final of the Belgian Cup and gained international fame when the painting ‘Girl with a pearl earring’ was defaced. Who is he? And why does he do what he does?
