Anakbayan Europe joins IAMR7 in Berlin
Report by Kyle Baleva, organising committee, Anakbayan-Europe
28 June 2017, Berlin, Germany — Migrant organizations such as Migrante-Europe and International Migrants Alliance (IMA) Europe, along with progressive organizations in Europe like DIEM25 and Coalition against Trump have let their voice be heard in the IAMR7 Berlin. Their message is clear: Migrants and refugees are forced to leave their homes because of poverty, wars of aggression and climate change. In their host countries, they are used as cheap labor and scapegoats. Solve the root causes of migration! The day ended with the delegates from the various organizations marching to the foreign ministry where the GFMD is being held. We then handed over a joint statement to a member of the German parliament and foreign ministry.
The sentiment of the organizations in the IAMR7 are very relevant to the Filipino people. Thousands of Filipinos leave their homeland every day to escape the poverty and unemployment rampant in the Philippines caused by the semi-feudal character and lack of national industrialization in the country. Anakbayan Europe joined this demonstration to show their solidarity with migrants and refugees from other countries and to show their support for the message of the IAMR7. It was also a prime opportunity to strengthen our ties with other progressive organizations in Europe.
Solve the root causes of migration! Long live international solidarity!

GRP- NDFP peacetalk. How to put it forward?
Hosted by Ugnayang Pilipino sa Belgium
It was early 90’s when I first saw the couple, Benito Tiamson and Wilma Austria in Sierra Madre. She was then explaning the second great rectification movement in the Philippine revolution.
Two decades later, I was lucky to see them again in Europe as NDFP’s peace consultants.
With the widrawal of president Duterte’s government from the 5th round of peacetalk set in Holland early this month, the prospects of peaceful resolution of the armed conflict in the Philippines faces a rough journey.
Benito and Wilma joined the armed struggle as youths, now they are grand parents, but still vigorously participating in the national democratic movement, becoming a celebrity and ganining respects and adulation from the present generation of Filipino youth activists.
Come and join me, enjoy their company and learn from them in the discussion groups organized by Ugnayang Pilipino sa Belgium (UPB), on Saturday, 24 June 2017 in Brussels, Belgium.
International Assembly of Migrants & Refugees (IAMR7) – Berlin
SPEAK OUT STREET EVENT!
The International Migrants Alliance (IMA), in cooperation with the Asia PacificMission for Migrants (APMM), GABRIELA Germany, IBON International, the International League of Peoples’ Struggle, the International Women’s Alliance, MIGRANTE Europe, and supported by local groups, unions and associations in Germany and other parts of Europe, will hold the SPEAK OUT STREET EVENT as an activity of the International Assembly of Migrants and Refugees (IAMR7).
The SPEAK OUT STREET EVENT will be held on the morning of 28 June 2017, the official opening day of the GFMD conference that will be attended by high-level and senior government policy makers. The activity will send a strong message to them regarding the continued marginalization of frontline peoples and communities affected by forced migration and human trafficking.
On this day, migrant and refugee communities will claim their space and assert their right to be seen and heard. It is important to give space to the voices that challenge the legitimacy and capacity of the GFMD to effectively address the problems and respond adequately to the challenges of migration and development. These grassroots and frontline communities will share their perspectives and solutions to the problems confronting them and engage
with policy-makers in the parliament of the streets, bearing witness to their effective exclusion from decision-making processes that affect them principally but which take place behind closed doors.
