translated from Spanish: Activist Greta Thunberg departs to Geneva in preamble to her tour and passage through Chile

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thumberg left on Saturday for Geneva, where she will make a pre-tour of the global tour she plans to take on a sailboat to New York and Chile to take her alert against the cli crisis matic.
Thumberg departed by train to Lausanne, as reported by the activist via her Twitter account, where she alludes to her transatlantic voyage, which she will perform on a sailboat piloted by Pierre Casiraghi, son of Princess Carolina of Monaco, and German sailor Boris Boris Hermann.
Its purpose is to travel from Switzerland to the United Kingdom and then to New York for a journey that will last about two weeks.
It aims to speak to the United Nations during the 23 September climate summit, after which it will continue to Chile, where the UN conference against the climate emergency will be held next December.
Thunberg said goodbye to his supporters in Stockholm on Friday, in an action before the Swedish Parliament, the site of starting his campaign of strikes in protest against the climate crisis, the origin of the global “Fridays for Future” movement.
The activist’s actions are not without controversy, whether it is those who criticize her to move the tens of thousands of minors who have joined her movement around the world, from those who question her mental state.
A prominent Australian “Herald Sun” journalist, Andrew Bolt, called her this week on twitter as “deeply disturbed” and linked what she calls the activist’s diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome.
Thunberg responded to that criticism from twitter, his usual channel of communication, and said that he was effectively “deeply disturbed” by such hateful messages.
Thumberg, 16, will be accompanied on her voyage aboard the “Malizia II”, in addition to the aforementioned pilots, her father and a filmmaker.
The 18-metre-long sailboat does not generate toxic emissions, as it is enabled with solar panels and underwater turbines.
