Greta and the climate protest are part of hybrid warfare to to manipulate public opinion using cyberwarfare and disinformation in order to destabilize enemy governments.

at the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of European and American leaders to discuss defence and geopolitics, Merkel had mentioned the protests in the context of Russia's hybrid warfare – efforts to manipulate public opinion using cyberwarfare and disinformation in order to destabilize enemy governments.

“In Germany now, children are protesting for climate protection - that is a really important issue,” she said. “But you can't imagine that all German children, after years, and without any outside influence, suddenly hit on the idea that they have to take part in this process.”

“Hybrid warfare from Russia can be felt every day in every European country,” she added. “This hybrid warfare in the internet is hard to detect, because you suddenly have movements that you wouldn't have thought would appear.”

…the exact same accusation had been made by Belgian climate minister Joke Schauvliege last month. Schauvliege was subsequently forced to resign because of what she said.

“I know who is behind this movement, both of the Sunday demonstrations and the truants,” she told an audience of farmers. “I have also been told that from state security. I can guarantee that I do not see ghosts alone and that climate demonstrations are more than spontaneous actions of solidarity with our climate.”
