A parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous fresco ‘The Last Supper’ featuring drag queens in the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris has sparked fury among some Catholic clergy and far-right politicians, while supporters praised its message of tolerance. The deputy prime minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini, who also leads the right-wing anti-migrant League party,  slammed the performance as “squalid” on social media on Saturday, reports FRANCE 24’s Seema Gupta.
