Among them was the leader of Portugal’s People Animals Nature party, Andre Silva, who praised Thunberg for her role in “tackling the greatest crisis of our times”. Portugal’s environment minister Matos Fernandes thanked Greta for her activism in a letter last Thursday, having already departed for COP25.
