Greta Thunberg Tours Sweden – Aims to Turn Swedes into Activists

Ahead of this autumn’s elections, climate extremist Greta Thunberg, who now appears to focus mainly on hating Israel, has decided to embark on a journey across Sweden together with a journalist.

The journalist touring with Greta Thunberg is Alexandra Urisman Otto. She studied at Lund University and Södertörn University and has worked at DN since 2016, including as a climate reporter. In the summer of 2025, she resigned to join Magda Gad’s notorious project, only to quit there as well and become a freelance writer for Arbetaren.

In 2021, Urisman Otto published the book Gretas resa (Greta’s Journey), which is described as allowing her own journey of knowledge and insights to run parallel to Greta’s. In 2025, she released the book Att låta världen få veta – Handbok i klimatjournalistik (Let the World Know – A Handbook of Climate Journalism).

And now, it’s time for a road trip with Greta Thunberg ahead of the September elections.

– We are heading out in Sweden together ahead of the 2026 election. Greta Thunberg with the goal of gaining a better understanding of what is needed to build a truly solidaric grassroots movement with justice in focus. And I, partly to write about her search, partly to put citizens in the spotlight ahead of the 2026 election. Arbetaren’s readers will get voter interviews instead of party leader interviews. They will meet real people and hear their thoughts, hopes, and fears. And they will receive a deeper understanding of what is at stake, instead of meaningless political answers, says Alexandra Urisman Otto to Arbetaren.

Thunberg hopes to answer the question “what should a voter do in 2026, when the political conversation is characterized by resistance to facts.” She also says she wants to highlight the movements that are “fighting for justice.”

Climate Crisis and Genocide

According to Thunberg, the idea came about because “escalating climate crisis, genocide, and the erosion of basic international law – issues that threaten everything and everyone we care about – are apparently absent from the political debate ahead of the election.”

She feels “powerless, desperate, and extremely frustrated that the discourse is completely disconnected from reality and that there is no political party that takes these enormous challenges seriously at all.”

The hope is to make the reader “step out of your comfort zone and become an activist.”
