¿Por qué Greta Thunberg quiere registrar su nombre?

La joven sueca Greta Thunberg conocida por sus manifestaciones en favor del medioambiente, avanzará en registrar su nombre y el de su movimiento "Viernes para el futuro", con el fin de que los mismos sean marcas comerciales.

Esta decisión se basa en la idea de la joven de "proteger al movimiento y sus actividades", tal como lo expresó a través de sus redes sociales. "Desafortunadamente todavía hay gente que trata de suplantarme o justificar falsamente que me representan para poder comunicarse con políticos, medios de comunicación, artistas, etc. Por favor, tened esto en cuenta", solicitó la activista.

First: Unfortunately there are still people who are trying to impersonate me or falsely claim that they "represent" me in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media, artists etc. Please be aware that this is happening and be extremely suspicious if you are contacted by ”me” or someone saying they ”represent” me. I apologize to anyone who has been contacted - and even misled - by this kind of behavior. Second: My name and the #FridaysForFuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever. It happens for instance in marketing, selling of products and people collecting money in my and the movement’s name. That is why I’ve applied to register my name, Fridays For Future, Skolstrejk för klimatet etc as trademarks. This action is to protect the movement and its activities. It is also needed to enable my pro bono legal help to take necessary action against people or corporations etc who are trying to use me and the movement in purposes not in line with what the movement stands for. I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done. Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking part in it, above all the young people. It can - and must - not be used for individual or commercial purposes. And third: together with my family I’m setting up a foundation. It’s already registered and existing, but it not is not yet up and running. This is strictly nonprofit of course and there are no interests in philanthropy. It is just something that is needed for handling money (book royalties, donations, prize money etc) in a completely transparent way. For instance, taxes have to be paid before we can give them away to specified purposes and charities. This takes a lot of time and work, and when the foundation is fully up and running I will tell you more. The foundation’s aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as mental health. Love/ Greta

Cabe destacar que Thunberg es referente del cuidado del medioambiente en todo el mundo, con el fin de acabar con la crisis climática. La organización mundial Amnistía Internacional le otorgó un premio al Embajador de Conciencia por su "liderazgo y valentía únicos en la lucha por los Derechos Humanos".

"Les garantizo que no tengo interés alguno en las marcas registradas, pero esto tiene que hacerse", dijo la sueca, que sumó que su movimiento "pertenece a todos aquellos que quieran formar parte de él, especialmente los jóvenes, y no debe ser utilizado con fines comerciales".
