IFG strives towards a world in which democracy and green politics are accessible for everyone.
The FMS and International Foundation GroenLinks have collaborated and started a series on the Serbian anti-corruption protests. During this series we highlight different sides of the protests, and this time we cover the social democratic perspective. On the 12th of February, the FMS spoke with Konstantin Samofalov. Mr. Samofalov is an ex-member of the Serbian parliament and currently the international secretary of the party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) in Serbia. Together we discussed the situation in Serbia after the collapse of the canopy in Novi Sad, which killed fifteen people and have led to massive protests. Konstantin told us about the response of the government, the role of the European Union and how he sees the protests evolve.
Wat is er gaande in de Democratische Republiek Congo (DRC), en welke impact heeft dit op de regio en de wereld? Tijdens ons politiek café duiken we dieper in de recente ontwikkelingen in aanloop naar het Tweede Kamerdebat over de DRC op 25 maart.
De mensenrechtensituatie verslechtert, terwijl politieke en economische belangen de crisis verder voeden. Toch blijft dit conflict grotendeels onderbelicht. Tijdens deze avond bespreken we de historische achtergrond, de humanitaire gevolgen en de rol van nationale en internationale politiek met deskundige sprekers. Dit is een kans om je te verdiepen in een urgent en vaak vergeten conflict en mee te praten over mogelijke oplossingen.
Marija, a 23-year-old Serbian student, usually studies at her university. But now, like many others, she is helping to organize and mobilize student protests across Serbia. Speaking from her own perspective, not as a representative of any organization, she shares her experiences during these turbulent times. This interview is a part of a bigger series on the Serbian anti-corruption protests, as we start with the student's perspective.
I am happy to join this amazing team and am looking forward to contributing to the work of IFG. In this time of rising authoritarianism, it's very important that GroenLinks keeps supporting its partners in Southeast- and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East in their quest for green politics and democratization.

In veel landen om Europa staat de democratie in het algemeen, en vooral de groene, progressieve politiek, enorm onder druk. Wij werken met jonge, veelal vrouwelijke politici en activisten die zich onder repressieve bewinden inzetten om mensen te activeren voor groene politiek te gaan. Met de plannen van het nieuwe kabinet in aankomst wordt ook ons werk onzekerder: daarom vragen we hier jouw hulp.
Onze projecten zijn voor onze partnerorganisaties van levensbelang. Projecten zoals een training over hoe je campagne voert, of een seminar voor jonge mensen over hoe ze invloed kunnen uitoefenen op klimaatbeleid. Hiermee betrekken zij mensen bij de groene beweging, en versterken ze de inhoudelijke kennis en politieke vaardigheden van hun actieve leden. Met jouw steun versterken we groene en progressieve politiek, tegen de autoritaire stroom in.
Conflict is sadly something people in Iraq know all too well. Although the country has been relatively stable for the past few years, all generations will remember a different conflict during their lifetime. From The First Iraqi–Kurdish War from 1961 until 1970 to the more recent armed conflict against the Islamic State ending in 2017. Younger generations will have a harder time recalling conflict, yet these generations are also affected by conflicts from the past. Decades of conflict have left their marks on Iraq's people and its landscape. Ecological effects of conflict have often been disregarded after conflicts ended. However, these effects are still felt by war torn countries today, Iraq is no exception.
