In the latest twist to the ongoing saga of Greta Thunberg’s climate activism, the 20-year-old Swedish environmentalist was recently detained not once but twice in a single day during a climate protest in The Hague, Netherlands.
This comes on the heels of a whirlwind of controversy surrounding her environmental and political stances, as well as her personal choices.
Thunberg, who first rose to prominence in 2018 with her “School Strike for Climate” movement, has since become a global figurehead for climate activism.
However, her recent actions have sparked a fierce debate among supporters and critics alike, raising questions about the sincerity and effectiveness of her efforts.
On Saturday, April 6, 2024, Thunberg was initially detained and held for a short time by local police along with other protesters who tried to block a major highway into The Hague.
After her release, Thunberg quickly rejoined a small group of protesters who were blocking a different road leading to the railway station, where she was detained a second time and driven off in a police van.
This incident is the latest in a series of high-profile protests led by Thunberg, who has been arrested multiple times for her participation in climate demonstrations across Europe.

Despite her repeated run-ins with the law, Thunberg remains defiant, declaring that “We cannot save the world by playing by the rules.”
However, critics have begun to question the sincerity of Thunberg’s environmental activism, pointing to her recent acquisition of breast implants as evidence of hypocrisy.
The implants, which have been the subject of much speculation and ridicule on social media, have raised concerns about the environmental impact of plastic surgery and the use of single-use plastics in such procedures.
