Greta Thunberg apologized Saturday after saying that politicians should be put "against the wall” after some critics alleged that the teen climate activist was advocating for violence against officials.
“Yesterday I said we must hold our leaders accountable and unfortunately said “put them against the wall”. That’s Swenglish: “att ställa någon mot väggen” (to put someone against the wall) means to hold someone accountable,” Thunberg tweeted.
“That’s what happens when you improvise speeches in a second language. But of course I apologise if anyone misunderstood this. I can not enough express the fact that I - as well as the entire school strike movement- are against any possible form of violence. It goes without saying but I say it anyway,” she continued.
Thunberg joined thousands of students in the Italian city of Turin Friday for a protest to push the country’s government to take greater action to curb carbon emissions. She traveled to the city from Madrid after attending a United Nations climate summit in Spain.
Thunberg told the crowd in Turin that world leaders are running away from their responsibilities to address carbon emissions and fight climate change, the Associated Press reported.
“We have to make sure that they cannot do that," she said. "We will make sure they, that we put them against the wall, and that they will have to do their job and to protect our futures."
In Swedish, the phrase “putting someone against the wall” means someone is forced to address difficult questions of a difficult situation.”

Who funds this person, follow the dollars, she magically appeared from nowhere already the proclaimed saviour of modern civilisation, just like Macron did.
Look what a disaster he is, just ask any Frenchman, no not any French woman/person/gender confused or anything else.
This is an agenda and a planned concerted attack.
Really? Time “Person of the Year” because she sailed on a sail boat to New York and blabbered about “ How Dare You”.
“Hypocrite” is more appropriate, which is Swenglish for juvenile used by the usual suspects to advance an agenda whilst creating the illusion they have been overwhelmed by a public tidal wave of support.
Her boat will sink like all the others and hopefully Time Magazines with it.
And, should be “stood up against the wall!”
This kid’s 15 minutes of fame ran out months ago. She need to STFU.
That, “Trump insults little girl with Aspergers” vanished very quickly from the news cycle.
An adult should step in and put this weirdo on a different course.
And there’s one in the spotlight! He don’t look right to me . . .
Her useful ess will be coming to an end soon.
Sh’es not untouchable and she “apologized.” Broke a huge Alinsky rule.
That would be her Marxist parents from what I've read. Yes, it is child abuse, especially for an Autism Lite (Aspergers syndrome) child.
Hey Greta: Fu*k You!
That’s Swenglish: “att ställa någon mot väggen” (to put someone against the wall) means to hold someone accountable,” Thunberg tweeted. i see she has no problem lying in a second language though
Thunberg must atone for the sin by going into seclusion, in a remote cabin in the far north of Sweden and there remain for 30 years. Only then might her apology and explanation be entertained.
she wore an Antifa t shirt she is absolutely for violence
Put your hands in the air, stick ‘em up like you don’t care
Face the wall, count to ten, we mow you down, reload again
Oh no, here we go
Disco who, disco what
Get down on your knees, and keep your trap shut
Disco this, disco that
When disc-gos to hell, that’s where we’re at, where we’re at
Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever

And aren’t her 15 minutes about up now? She’s really getting tiresome. Give the little weirdo back to her parents.
She is probably safer sailing in her un-eco-friendly sailboats around the world than staying in the muslim rape capital of Europe.
I’m willing to accept her excuse. When you read the full quote it doesn’t sound like she meant firing squads.
But she’s still a brainwashed nutjob advocating for fraudulent cause.
The handlers determined in a snap poll that an unacceptable number of people who vote or will vote in the next few years were offended.
This has now been corrected.
Put them against the wall means what it says. Just because it gets watered down over the years doesn’t mean it didn’t originate (in any language) in violence.
Most leftists do not want those on the right to have freedom of speech. Most don’t even want them alive. Tolerance, you know.
BS she apologized - her handlers put out a statement that said she apologized. This kid is kept locked up until the next “Green” rally.
