"Still doing it?": Greta Thunberg burst out laughing at the movement she founded

Greta Thunberg was recorded bursting into laughter after learning that the Fridays for Future movement, which she founded, is still holding protests in Berlin. The video sparked controversy, but Thunberg and the film's director claim her reaction was aimed at protest methods, not the climate struggle itself.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was recorded bursting into laughter after learning that the Fridays for Future movement, which she founded, is still holding protests in Berlin. The footage was captured during a German documentary titled 'Auf Panzern in die Klimakrise'. Thunberg, 23, asked in astonishment 'Really? They're still doing that?' and continued laughing. The video sparked an online uproar, but the film's director claims her reaction was not meant to mock the fight against the climate crisis itself. Thunberg herself posted a response on Friday, explaining that on that day she participated in a protest action against a weapons manufacturer in Germany, and discovered that the German movement was holding a climate protest with police approval. She criticized the protest being held in an affluent area, while she and her friends took direct action against the arms industry. Luisa Neubauer, a prominent figure in the German movement, said that not all activists need to agree on a single protest method.
