She stopped by again: Greta Thunberg surprisingly sang and danced at the edge of the lignite opencast mine near Lützerath on Sunday – before she was carried away by the police.
The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg surprisingly appeared again on Sunday afternoon at the edge of the lignite opencast mine near Lützerath. A DPA reporter reported that she took part in an impromptu demonstration and sang and danced with other climate activists. She was wrapped up in a hat and hooded jacket. A police spokesman said Thunberg briefly sat on a wall at the edge of the mine.
For their own safety, police officers had asked them to leave the wall. When she failed to do so, the officers carried her a few steps further away. The same went harmoniously. The Swedish climate activist then went her own way.
