Today there was a demonstration in #Amsterdam for free migration and refugee rights. Organised by MiGreat (https://migreat.org/en). The weather was great (a bit to sweltering) with mostly nice people. The only disappointment was the turnout, but that also made it nicer in a certain way. The reason for the turnout was probably; 1. people were to tired after the NATO-summit; 2. the municipality decided to move us out of the center, a 15 min. walk from the nearest public transport (although not having to trip over tourists is also a plus); 3. there was also a demo against an anti-refugee demo in Haarlem.

Here is a short time-lapse (via MiGreat with permission, blur is ours) at the moment we arrived back in the Martin Luther King Park (the start and finish).

📣 A shout-out to @MokumTegenFascisme.

Ten years ago, the European Union vowed as one to take in refugees after a 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up dead on a beach. Now, keeping migrants out is the key goal, as governments play to right-leaning voters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/world/politics/eu-migration-hard-line-compassion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #immigration #refugees #eu
