Greta Thunberg urged Paris mobilization before protests turned violent
Key Points:
- Climate activist Greta Thunberg has publicly supported French student protests that began over education issues but escalated into violent riots involving migrants, urging her followers to join and donate to the cause.
- Thunberg condemned police brutality against French students and called for international solidarity, using the protest slogan "bismillah, c’est les ténèbres," which translates to "In the name of God, it’s darkness."
- The protests are linked to a broader coalition known as the "red-green-green alliance," which includes communist groups, Islamist activists, and environmentalists, supporting interconnected causes such as climate justice and Palestinian solidarity.
- Fox News identified 54 organizations involved in the protests, with only a third being youth groups; the rest include adult-led communist parties, labor unions, and advocacy groups, some connected to the Neville Roy Singham network, which funds various leftist and anti-Israel movements.
- Despite Thunberg’s vocal support, her main organization, Fridays For Future, was not officially identified as an organizer of the protests, and Fox News did not receive responses from Thunberg or her group regarding their involvement.
