From June 4-7 , the 26 European countries will go out vote for MEP or member of the European Parliament for the term 2009-2014 on June 4-7. Each country has a fix number of MEP’s which depends on the number of inhabitants for example in Denmark their are 14 MEP’s representing different political parties.

Denmark’s turn to go tot he polls is on June 7 and it’s 7th time they will vote for EU Parliament.
I will take this opportunity to ask for Filipinos in Denmark to support Einer Lyduch of the Social Democratic Party.

Who is Einer Lyduch?

Einer is one of the first Dane I knew and talked with when I was newcomer in Denmark and we as far as I can remember we talked about a lot of things mostly politics and social problems. He was well verse with the Philippines politics because he is married for I think 30 years to one of my mentors in our women’s organization, Amelia Abainza Lyduch who has turned 60 this year. They are blessed with 2 children Naomi and Richard plus their only grandchild Denzel.

Amelia Lyduch, a filipinamom

He is presently working in Neils Brocks Business College as study assistant Professor. He has MA in history, danish and English. For 20 years he was the union representative for Secondary School Teachers Union. He together with his wife spearheaded a NGO, Pugad who helps marginalized people in developing countries.

His political standpoint-

We share the fate of the EU, and have the same challenges: Always fighting for jobs, giving each citizen opportunities to combat social exclusion and poverty, to reconcile material growth with environmental sustainability and responsibility for future generations. Therefore, the vision of the EU to unite Europe so we can better solve our common problems and make a meaningful effort in relation to poor countries.

The Socialist objective is to promote human rights, social justice and peace. The EU should serve as a platform in the fight for human development, and we must work for the EU to take a social leadership in globalization. Responses to globalization is political acumen, where the market is balanced by political solutions. And it requires a full showdown with the EU’s agricultural tariff barriers and protectionism.

Don’t forget get out and vote on June 7, 2009 and Vote for Einer Lyduch personally. Filipinamoms in Denmark and the rest of the Filipinos let us unite and Support Einer. Send email to you danish friends and colleagues to vote for him and join him in Facebook. Let us plurk, tweet, shout at friendster and other social networking sites.
