Greta Thunberg joins climate protest blocking Swedish parliament

Activist accuses Sweden of being ‘very good at greenwashing’ as group sits outside building’s main entrance

Greta Thunberg has accused Sweden of being “very good at greenwashing” as she staged a protest along with about 50 other activists outside her home country’s parliament.

The activists – who she said were acting as a group of concerned, largely young individuals rather than representing a particular organisation – sat outside the main entrance to Sweden’s government buildings in Stockholm on Monday morning in an attempt to stop politicians from getting to work.
