Greta Thunberg

The youth calls on the leadership of the university to allocate an amount of 33 thousand dollars spent on the statue to support the participants in the educational process.

In Britain, on the territory of Winchester University, a monument was erected to the Swedish eco-activist, schoolgirl Greta Thunberg. About this on Wednesday, March 31, writes BBC.

Greta Thunberg, famous for her environmental protection and Friday rallies, received the title of Person of the Year 2019.

In this regard, the university decided to immortalize the world’s main eco-activist in a bronze statue.

But Thunberg’s peers did not appreciate the initiative of their mentors and were outraged by the expensive monument to the schoolgirl.

They argue that such a huge amount – 33 thousand dollars, during the pandemic should have been directed to more expedient measures.

In particular, the head of the student trade union Megan Ball said that distance learning provoked difficulties for students and they need help.

Thus, students urge the university administration to allocate the same amount as spent on the statue to support the participants in the educational process.

It was previously reported that Thunberg does not support the policies of the American president Joe Biden on Climate Change.

Brand with Greta Thunberg will be released in Sweden
