Swedish climate activist, GRETA THUNBERG told thousands of demonstrators in BERLIN ahead of GERMANY’s general election on Sunday that “no political party” was doing even nearly enough to fight the climate crisis.
Speaking at a rally on Friday in front of the REICHSTAG parliament building, THUNBERG told cheering supporters they needed to keep up the pressure on GERMANY’s political leaders past election day.
She said not even their proposed commitments are close to being in line with what would be needed to fulfil the PARIS Agreement” on curbing climate change,.
As GERMANY’s top parties were set to hold final rallies, the Fridays for Future youth movement said it was holding strikes in more than 400 German cities and towns.
At the largest event in BERLIN, THUNBERG said the political class was failing younger generations.
According to reports, THUNBERG stopped short of endorsing the Green party, whose program Fridays for Future activists argue falls short of what is needed to effectively curb global warming.
