Statement of the Provisional National Committee of DiEM25-Germany at the G20 summit in Hamburg
“All citizens have the right to freely express their opinions and to gather peacefully for protest. The freedom of assembly, as well as freedom of expression, is a basic pillar of every free and pluralistic society.” This statement appeared on the website of the human rights organisation, Amnesty International last week in response to recent incidents in Hamburg, specifically the ban on protest camps and the restriction on overnighting, and the general ban on demonstrations in the city. Although these prohibitions were lifted by the Constitutional Court, the Administrative Court of Hamburg chose to reinstate them in a modified form. It is well known amongst lawyers that the administrative courts tend to be more conscious of political interpretation than the Constitutional Court. The purpose of such bans is to preemptively prevent “militant extremists” from having access to a refuge as well as places of potential disturbance. In 2013 the Turkish Prime Minister, Reccep Tayyip Erdoğan, ordered the evacuation of protestors in Gezi Park on the premise that “terrorists” and “riffraff” were infiltrating the ranks of demonstrators. At the time, this crackdown was strongly condemned by leading politicians keen to reaffirm the democratic value of assembly and freedom of opinion. And yet, today, the leaders of the protest movements in Hamburg are facing similar rhetoric and restrictions. Reducing the creative and diverse G20 protest to just ‘a bunch of militants’ is a calculated simplification of the protest. The predicted total number of demonstrators is in the hundreds of thousands, each protesting uniquely, while police estimate that the number of violent demonstrators may be in the region of 8,000. Freedom of assembly in the opinion of the Federal Constitutional Court In the opinion of the Federal Constitutional Court and among the most respected German constitutional jurists, freedom of assembly does not merely include conventional demonstrations. Vigils, silent protests, human chains and protest camps are also constitutionally protected. It is not only misleading, but also inaccurate to refer to ‘approvals’ or ‘restrictions’ for such gatherings. Such terminology is reminiscent of the former police state, when the Constitution had not yet been approved. Nowadays, political assemblies do not have to be ‘approved’ by the authorities; they are universally permitted and the only bureaucratic condition is that they need to be registered. Now, if other basic liberties are under threat, then assemblies may be restricted and, in extreme cases, even banned. However these are exceptional circumstances, which must be reasonably justified on the basis of constitutional law. In general, the administration must facilitate assemblies, not prevent them. Both the Constitution and the Federal Constitutional Court clearly demand this. It is, therefore, all the more absurd that the administration, the police and the lower courts have chosen to disregard these facts (and effectively the rule of law), only then to be reminded of them by the Federal Constitutional Court. Rulings aimed at suppressing rallies verge on perverting the course of justice, when viewed within the political context. States are becoming more autocratic In the G20 countries the so-called ‘securitisation’ of political protest has become a feature, lending these supposed democracies an increasingly authoritarian appearance. A Gay Pride parade in Istanbul was recently banned because of the ‘threat to public order and the security of citizens and tourists’. It is almost cynical of the German authorities to distinguish themselves liberally and publicly from the methods of authoritarian states such as Russia, Turkey, China or the USA, but quietly and simultaneously apply the same logic. As a consequence, the diverse and fundamentally democratic protest against the G20 summit has gained additional legitimacy. This attempted ban has reaffirmed its concerns and therefore its relevance. It is the politicisation of the bureaucracy that has inspired the protests against the G20, which, for its summit, has not only spent more than a billion Euros of taxpayers’ money for subsistence and to fence off parts of the city, but will also bring the daily lives of Hamburg’s citizens to a standstill. The summit brings with it reductions in turnover for medium-sized businesses operating in the city centre, forces shops to close and restricts residents’ access their own homes. This is not only audacious; it is inconsiderate and egotistical and has nothing to do with constructive government work.
“Festival of democracy” All of this is a fundamental contradiction of the intention of the Hamburg G20 summit, which, in the run-up, was billed as a “festival of democracy” – a festival at which Hamburg and Germany wanted to present themselves as exemplary hosts. At a time when emergency laws (for example the ongoing state of emergency in France) and presidential decrees regularly negate citizens’ rights (rights which can seemingly only be upheld by the courts), the hope was that Germany would not be intimidated by the current security situation. That Germany would not only respect democratic principles, but would proudly emphasise them before the world’s press. Instead, we have spent weeks listening to a discussion in which protesters are routinely condemned as criminals and rioters. And so we have ended up in a legal debate in which the Hamburg Senate is arguing whether freedom of assembly should be restricted because of expected violence. It is clear that, at the end of the day, while much is being said about democracy, in truth, the Hamburg Senate and some government politicians, who are quick to stigmatise their critics, are putting themselves above the constitution. ‘Learning democracy’, the much-cited credo of politicians, applies in the first instance to themselves. A ray of light in dark times The systematic stifling of democratic processes and the centralisation of power is a global trend, one that Germany is also following. Those who criticise must expect repression. Of course, as a democratic movement, we know that practical democracy is not easy. However, we cannot endorse politicians’ ability to limit the freedoms of the demos through unscrutinised oversimplification. If parts of society are having their quality of life restricted and others are being prevented from exercising their rights, all so that heads of government can meet behind closed doors, then dark times are not just coming, they are already here. It is, therefore, all the more important for us to stimulate general discourse and to provide further impulses for a democratic Europe. For this reason, we would like to invite all progressive democrats to our discussion group on Constructive Disobedience at the University of Hamburg on Friday, 7 July.
In contrast to the Hamburg Senate and the German Ministry of the Interior, the university president and the university campus are providing a protected area in which political discourse can be held – something that is sadly being denied to other activists on the streets of Hamburg.
In accordance with DiEM25’s Organising Principles, 6 positions in the Coordinating Collective (CC) will be contested in an open election in August.
The Coordinating Collective coordinates events, assemblies and campaigns that have been proposed by advisors, members, DSCs or the Validating Council, it organises internal policy work and prepares internal votes, it acts quickly in response to events and it manages DiEM25’s public appearance.
Any member can be a candidate for DiEM25’s Coordinating Collective, provided he/she is fluent in English, doesn’t hold a significant political office and is able to dedicate a lot of time to DiEM25. Simply fill out this form:
On July 7-8 the G20 Summit is happening in Hamburg. The city’s authorities plan to transform it into a democracy-free zone of complete surveillance, enforced by paramilitary means. We wrote the letter below to the Senate of Hamburg to protest.
DiEM25 will be in Hamburg for the Summit to take the fight to the Establishment in our own special way: with Constructive Disobedience. All welcome – join us!

OPEN LETTER
Honourable Senators of the City of Hamburg,
We are the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), a pan-European alliance of European citizens for the democratisation of Europe. What we are witnessing in Hamburg worries us deeply.
In less than three weeks from now, the world’s attention will be drawn to your city, as you host the planet’s most powerful heads of state for the G20 summit. Let us be clear: the G20 has no democratic mandate: it embodies the politics of austerity, social inequality, war and ecological destruction. The protests and draconian security measures that follow G20 summits around the world are testament to this group’s odiously illiberal and autocratic nature.
Yet on July 7 and 8, your city will take security measures that are extreme even by G20 standards. Andy Grote, your senator of the interior, went back on a previous promise to not ban demonstrations[1] and declared a general decree forbidding any kind of assembly in a territory of 38 km2. Predator drones, usually deployed in warzones, will circle the skies, tanks will be out on the streets, and over 15.000 police officers are expected to be on patrol, including those on horseback and with dogs. Robots deployed by U.S. secret services will crawl through sewers and subway tunnels (doing what exactly? No-one knows since the U.S. won’t give us any information about them![2]) Hamburg will be transformed into an Orwellian dystopia of complete surveillance, enforced by paramilitary means; a democracy-free area.
Senators, these moves are a travesty against the democratic identity of the “free and hanseatic city of Hamburg”, to use its official name. They are a blow to the standing of European democracy as a whole and its perception across the world.
We will not be deterred. From July 5 to July 8 we will be in Hamburg to demonstrate for global solidarity, to protest against the G20’s illiberal policies, and to put forward real political alternatives to austerity, war, social inequalities and ecocide. In line with the constitution of your city, which cites Hamburg’s role as ‘mediating between all the world’s parts and people in the spirit of peace’, we will peacefully and constructively #disOBEY the international dogma of austerity.
Please feel free to join us in our festival of democracy.

“Winning votes by erecting fences and violating international law on refugees is the last resort of politicians ready to sacrifice their nation’s integrity for their own miserable petty reasons.” – Yanis Varoufakis
Today is World Refugee Day. And almost 18 months since it came into force, the EU-Turkey deal on refugees is still tearing families apart, inflicting unnecessary suffering on people who have already suffered the unimaginable and sending the worst message to the world about the values of Europe, our common home.
That’s why at DiEM25 we launched #StopTheDeal, a campaign to take the EU-Turkey refugee deal to court in a bid to save the life of Shabbir Iqbal – a Pakistani refugee trapped in Lesvos, Greece – and improve the lives of millions.
Shabbir Iqbal
So how is the campaign going? Well, Shabbir’s case is still active and is making its way through the European Court of Justice. The fight goes on, but things are not looking bright. The recent ECJ rulings on other refugee cases look likely to complicate the situation. And unfortunately, Shabbir remains in Lesvos, away from his wife and children and in poor health.
But we remain behind Shabbir, and won’t let him down… nor the millions like him. So we’re asking you to please sign and share this petition to help us raise awareness about Shabbir and our struggle to #StopTheDeal.
You can also write to your representatives (we have a template letter to make this easier). And, of course, you can join DiEM25 and discover how our movement is fighting to transform the EU to create a better future for all. Thank you for being part of this vital struggle!
As journalists at the international press agency Pressenza and activists of the Humanist association “World without Wars and Violence”, we intend to make a contribution to the debate in DiEM25 and the development of an innovative and courageous platform for the 2018 European elections.
The European New Deal launched by DiEM25 puts forth interesting measures aimed at fighting increasing poverty levels caused by austerity, overly powerful banks and nominated technocrats, who answer to no one but themselves for their decisions. However, a program of this sort is difficult to put into practice without cutting the massive funds currently spent on military build-up and touching the out-sized power of the arms industry.
Reducing military spending and placing an embargo on arms sales would free up immense resources, as well as constitute an ethical choice of peace over war. These measures would be an essential contribution to defusing armed conflicts that provoke colossal humanitarian tragedies and create millions of refugees worldwide. Most of these wars are indeed fought using arms supplied by Western countries!
In addition, we cannot ignore the fact that the terrible terrorist attacks that took so many lives in Paris, Nice, Berlin, Brussels, Stockholm, Manchester and London are, in part, a monstrous response to wars the West has waged for profit and raw materials, thus feeding into an infinite spiral of hate, violence and revenge.
Military spending is not front page news, but enormous figures are involved. According to data gathered by SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute), the most authoritative research institute in this field, military spending by European Union countries in 2016 totaled 225 billion euros, that is to say 1.54% of the aggregate GDP. NATO member European countries spent 215 billion euros, or 1.47% of their GDP. If these countries followed the US exhortation to contribute more to the NATO budget, reaching 2% of each country’s GDP, the total would be 295 billion euros annually, or 37% more than today.
In Europe, only four countries – Estonia, Greece, Poland and the UK – currently reach or surpass 2% of their GDP on military spending. As an example, paying 2% for Italy would mean 20 billion euros more, for Germany 30 billion more and for Spain 16 billion more. These figures are even more meaningful if we think about the devastating consequences austerity policies have had, and continue to have, on countries like Greece, Italy and Spain.
Given the recent submissive reactions by European countries to Trump’s requests at the NATO summit in Brussels, these spending increases appear nearly certain. Conclusion: funds for pensions, healthcare, education and research get cut, but money is always available for arms!
Another important topic that should be included in the DIEM25 program is disarmament, especially nuclear disarmament, and closing down American military bases with atomic weapons. According to various experts, such as Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists, the NATO doctrine of “Nuclear Sharing” in Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Turkey means that there are 180 US B61 bombs (2014 estimate). These five countries are signatories of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and thus are in violation of Article 2 (each of the non-nuclear countries that have signed the Treaty commit to not hosting nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, or have any direct or indirect control over any such weapons or explosive devices…). In addition, France possesses approximately 300 atomic warheads and the UK 225.
In this decidedly grim landscape, good news comes from on-going negotiations at the United Nations around a treaty to ban nuclear arms. It is promoted by 123 countries, which are mostly from Africa, Asia and South America. The next session of negotiations will take place from June 15 to July 7. These negotiations have been completely boycotted by the nuclear powers and their allies, and take place in complete media silence. Very few European countries support the treaty (Austria, Cyprus, the Holy See, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Malta, San Marino and Sweden) and they deserve all the support of both civil society and political movements that care about the future of humanity. A future scenario which is truly forward-looking depends largely on eliminating these illegal and inhuman timebombs, the last arms of mass destruction that still exist.
In summary, talking about European social policies requires clear and strong proposals in the direction of the reduction of military spending and disarmament.

Tomorrow the Greek government enters yet another Eurogroup, which will sadly result in more ‘can kicking’. No-one wants to discuss the real issue: how to free Greece from debtors’ prison!
That’s why, on the occasion of DiEM25’s third major event in Greece – Heraklion, the country’s 4th largest city – tonight we’re publishing the English version of our New Deal For Greece. It’s an outline in an 8-page PDF, and you can download it right now.
Since 2008 more people on earth are living in cities than in the country. Until 2030 there will be 5 billion people in cities. Therefor urbanisation is a planned development. In which direction this plan will develop and who is going to have the right to a say in the matter will be another question. For this reason the activist group of DiEM25 Berlin dedicated the first ‘DiEM-Lab’ to the topic ‘Building Rebel Cities’. Building Rebel Cities
The theoretical concept of ‘Rebel Cities’ is going back on the book ‘Right to the city’ of french philosopher Henri Lefebvre from 1968. The name ‘Rebel Cities’ is due to the social theorist David Harvey. He traced urban development back to global monetary flow. Large scale projects like the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg or the airport Berlin-Brandenburg, for example, are built in big cities because international money is searching for profitable investment. In accordance with Harvey such investments are indication of housing bubbles and economic crisis.
Furthermore the book ‘Rebel Cities’ points out the social aspects of urban communities. City researchers like Andrej Holm and Dirk Gebhardt show that it is about “concrete use of urban spaces … and access to political and strategic debates about future development paths”. At the beginning of the ‘DiEM-Lab’ Martin Pairet, activist of DiEM25 and member of the organisation ‘European Alternatives’, called attention to how promising the concept of ‘Rebel Cities’ could proof. There are several possibilities to make it a reality. For example Barcelona and Naples have the shape of a rebel city. Both municipalities form there own “Lab” with their own history, experience and above all their specific population. What about Berlin?
Whereas water privatisation was stopped in Naples and the municipality is organising water supply itself, also people in Berlin call for a different development. Lisa Vollmer researches housing protests in Berlin and New York and represented the alliance “City from Below” at the ‘DiEM-Lab’. The alliance is communally and self-governed. Lisa gave a very informative talk about recent political events and the everyday struggles around the topics of rising rents, public property and eviction. City from below
Currently the alliance is mainly dealing with the so called ‘Dragoner-Areal’ a former army compound in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It demands, that the area as “inner-city open area is developed along the interests of local users”. But the 4.7 hectare big area was already sold in 2012 with highest-bidding of about 21 million Euro from the Institute for Federal Real Estate to the investor ABR German Real Estate. The investor was planning upscale owner-occupied flats, cooperative buildings and new constructions. According to the building law the development plan has to take regard to the thorough collection of all interests and their fair consideration. Above all a comprehensive participation of the public and all parties involved. But the district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg didn’t want to have that, which let to a withdrawal of German Real Estate to buy the area.
Therefor residents expressed “massive doubts about the promise of ‘affordable’ flats by a private investor” through a participation procedure. As a result the Institute for Federal Real Estate has again invited tenders through a highest-bidding contest. Within the rent city of Berlin (60 % of residents have right for social housing) is another group whose housing conditions are precarious: migrants. Urban plurality
Max Hoßfeldt of the initiative ‘Give Something Back To Berlin’ (GSBTB) presented the work of his organisation at the ‘DiEM-Lab’. Just five years after its creation GSBTB is the biggest platform for neighbour initiatives and social employment in Berlin. It is dedicated to bring the big migrant community in Berlin to work together. GSBTB has hundreds of volunteers from over 60 countries. They differ from jetsetters to refugees and demand to “get involved”. This is an appeal to all people living in Berlin to build up communities and develop social projects. Already there are over 60 projects regarding different topics like centers for homeless people, mentor programs or creative children work. Today GSBTB can reach over 14.000 participants a year for their own refugee projects.
Christoph Wiedemann gave a different perspective on the topic escape and migration. He was in charge of an emergency accommodation for about 180 male refugees in Berlin. He reported about self organisation and self administration in that shelter. Some inhabitants argued to give rules to themselves and also to imply them whereas others had the opinion, with regard to the autocratic systems in their countries of origin, that the management of the shelter should give and imply the rules. Christoph pointed out that refugees are not a homogenous group and bring very different political opinions. Therefore alliances between democratic and progressive people with and without migration background are important. Building Rebel Cities? The organisators of ‘DiEM-Lab’ were excited about the event. Johannes Fehr, coordinator of the DiEM25 Spontaneous Collective (DSC) 1 in Berlin, said that it was a very convenient event. He learned how ‘City from Below’ is working and how it is challenging the municipal institutions. Johannes underlined the aspect of working together and above all, that “refugees should have the right to vote” and the “institutions involved in municipal politics should become more democratic”. Also another activist for DiEM25 in Berlin praised the “mix” of the inputs as well as the atmosphere of the get-together. All participants could conclude that more participatory rights for refugees are needed and many urban initiatives need political representation. For the future DiEM25 can learn that the specific European character of the movement is a main advantage. Urban problems are present in all European, yet all cities worldwide. To gather these problems and coordinate solutions will be a massive task for our future. DSC Berlin
From DiEM25’s Coordinating Collective:
DiEM25 strongly believes in the power of municipal movements, thrives in grassroots initiatives and fully stands behind “rebel cities” in the struggle to transform national and European politics.
In the upcoming Italian local elections (June 11th-18th), Italians will have a chance to reject the false choice between business-as-usual and right-wing nationalism, and to vote for municipal lists that open a third space close to DiEM’s principles and manifesto.
The Coordinating Collective has analysed several electoral platforms looking for innovative municipal coalitions that adhere to our desire to improve social protections, welcome migrants and refugees, return to citizens ownership and participation over common goods and promote green energy and carbon reduction.
The following is a list of municipal coalitions we feel respect our policy manifesto. In line with our desire to support citizens-led coalitions that move beyond traditional party politics, we have selected municipal movements that bring together a plurality of political and civic actors. We believe a progressive alliance that gathers the best of the political, social, and civic dimensions is the most desirable solution at all levels: local, national, and European.
The following, non-exhaustive list has been compiled in cooperation with Italian DiEM25 activists and it has been recommended* by the Coordinating Collective, as well as our Italian Advisory Panel member, Berardo Carboni.
Padova
Arturo Lorenzoni / Coalizione Civica L’Aquila
Cimoroni Carla / L’Aquila Chiama Verona
Michele Bertucco / Verona in Comune Cuneo
Nello Fierro / Cuneo per i Beni Comuni Piacenza
Luigi Rabuffi / Piacenza in Comune Lucca
Marina Manfrotto / Lucca Città in Comune Molfetta
Giovanni Porta / Compagni di Strada
* Given the number of cities and towns heading for elections, as well as the short time-frame, taking an official stance on the elections has proven to be an impossible task. So, with DiEM25’s official support being impossible, as it would have required a vote among all our members, this list is only a recommendation of the members of DiEM25’s Coordinating Collective. The Validating Council has discussed and approved the text, adding some changes and determining that such a recommendation is in line with DiEM25’s Organising Principles.
Our French members have taken a different route to bring DiEM25 into the electoral debate and push for a progressive alliance at the ballot: they gave a variety of candidates running in the upcoming parliamentary elections on June 11 and 18 the chance to embrace our movement’s aims.
As electoral contests take place across the Union, DiEM25 members everywhere have been working hard to push our movement’s Progressive Agenda. In some cases, our membership has agreed to fully support a political party like Zagreb is Ours! in Croatia. In the UK, DiEMers voted to endorse a broad list of candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections. And our Coordinating Collective, together with the Validating Council, is working on a press release including their recommendations of progressive forces at the Italian municipal elections next week.
Now in France, DiEM25’s French Provisional National Committee (PNC) developed a Charter and called for progressive candidates in the upcoming parliamentary elections to sign it. Despite the short time available, 55 candidates had done so by June 10th.
The Charter made by our French PNC calls for:
transparency at all levels; participative democracy; referenda; independence of agencies; reinforcement of liberty and independence of press; protection of whistleblowers; promotion of diversity and gender equality in all institutions
openness; welcome and integration of refugees and migrants through a common migration politics and the respect of the rights of refugees and right to asylum; their free movement throughout the EU and sharing of efforts across countries
a radical refounding of economic and monetary European policies; fundamental reform of the economic governance of the EU and the Eurozone (European New Deal); regulation of finance; fiscal harmonisation; organisation of economic convergence; fight against tax evasion and against tax havens; restructuring and mutualisation of public debts
development of employment; fight against poverty; hamonisation of social protection; reduction of inequalities; everybody’s access to goods and essential services (food; accommodation; transport; energy; education; health; livable environment…) and a paid job in their country and region of origin; sharing the returns of capital and creation of a basic dividend
ecological transition; sustainable development and protection of the material and immaterial common goods; energy sovereignty while re-orienting budget policy and investments to environmental technologies; tech sovereignty and the management of the digital transition
putting in place a democratic process to create a new constitution for France and for Europe

Our message to political actors and democrats throughout the Union remains the same: we welcome everyone to join our movement whose objective is to put the ‘demos’ back into our democracy – something that we can only achieve at home if Europe is democratised as a whole!
