Greta Thunberg fined by Swedish court

Greta Thunberg, the Swedish environmental activist known for her fight against climate change, has been fined by a Swedish court.

The sentencing follows a protest organized by Thunberg in 2018 outside the Swedish parliament, as part of his “Fridays for Future” movement. She had then refused to leave the premises despite the ban on demonstrations and had thus violated the safety rules.

The Swedish court ruled that Thunberg had broken the law on public gatherings and therefore decided to impose a fine of 5000 SEK (around 500 euros) on him. Although the young activist was not present during the judgment, her lawyer accepted the fine on behalf of her client.

This decision drew mixed reactions. Some of Thunberg’s supporters believe she was unfairly punished for her environmental activism, while others believe the conviction is justified because she broke the law.

18-year-old Greta Thunberg became an iconic figure in the climate fight thanks to her weekly school strike outside the Swedish Parliament in 2018. Since then, she has inspired millions of young people around the world to stand up and demand stronger action on climate change.

Despite this condemnation, Thunberg remains determined to continue her fight for the climate. She recently participated in COP26 in Glasgow, where she denounced the inaction of world leaders in the face of the climate emergency.

The fine imposed on Thunberg underscores the obstacles that environmental activists often face in their quest for climate justice. While some voices criticize them, others continue to support them and call for stronger action to save our planet.
