Vanaf vandaag kunnen leden van GroenLinks en de Partij van de Arbeid stemmen over gezamenlijke deelname aan de komende Tweede Kamerverkiezingen en over de toekomst van de twee partijen. In het referendum dat tot 12 juni loopt, liggen twee vragen voor. Door de val van het kabinet hebben de partijbesturen, zoals eerder aangekondigd, besloten het principebesluit gelijk in stemming te brengen.
In this third and final article on the Serbian student movement, the Foundation Max van der Stoel and the International Foundation GroenLinks once again joined forces. We had the opportunity to speak with Dinko Gruhonjić, a journalist with over two decades of experience and programme director of the Independent Journalists’ Association of Vojvodina (NDNV). In addition to his media work, Mr. Gruhonjić is also a professor at the University of Novi Sad. The mass student protests in Serbia are still ongoing, as the demands, focusing on demanding justice and accountability of the ruling government, have not been met by the Serbian regime. One of the most prominent topics Gruhonjić highlights is the struggle over national broadcasting, which is increasingly losing its independence. Lately, students and other citizens have blocked the national broadcaster’s headquarters for over a week. In this interview, we discuss the role of the media in Serbia, the ongoing protests, solidarity within the academic community, and the broader role of the EU and geopolitical tensions in the region.
Over the past few weeks, leaders from 30 nations have gathered in Paris to discuss Ukraine’s protection, with European commitments under scrutiny. The Dutch government, cautious about its financial pledges, is debating GroenLinks-PvdA’s proposal to allocate an additional €500 million annually in military aid. As political debates unfold, Ukrainians on the ground continue to navigate the war’s brutal realities. To understand their perspectives, IFG spoke with representatives from the Ukrainian Green Party and the NGO Green Youth of Ukraine, its youth branch. Their message is clear: Ukraine needs more than just weapons, it needs comprehensive and long-term support.
De wereld wordt in hoog tempo digitaler. Al die ontwikkelingen bieden enorme kansen, zoals verbeterde connectiviteit, hogere productiviteit en nauwkeurigere voorspellingen.

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.
