Over the past year, there's been a lot of hype in Germany over Greta Thunberg (the Swedish 16-year old girl who is out to save the world from climate change, and persuading German students to strike on Fridays at noon).
So the news media had some expectations as they sent the poll folks out in the last week, and were a bit shocked to see that seven out of ten German adults polled....aren't excited over Greta and her campaign. In fact, if you review the polling and note CDU, CSU, FDP, AfD type voters.....a pretty strong majority aren't hyped-up over Greta or the campaign.
At some point here with the new school year starting....I suspect some schools are going to get tough on the strike game (Fridays), and start to take stronger measures than they did last school-year.
You can view the poll discussion over at ARD's morning news.
