Resignation of Erdogan’s one-man government!
Tens of thousands of workers, students, retirees, young people, men and women have taken to the streets of several cities in Turkey to express their repudiation of the reactionary government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The cry is unanimous: Resignation of Erdogan! Shoulder to shoulder against fascism!
The massive protests occur in response to the illegal and arbitrary detention of the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, and more than a hundred people at the same day. İmamoğlu has become a risk to the continuity of the regime Erdogan’s one-man fascist, all political-electoral analyzes agree that he would win the upcoming presidential elections, which is why they want him out of the race.
The current Turkish president does not even remotely think about a democratic transition; What’s more, he plans to promote a constitutional reform that would invest him as president for life. The imprisonment of the mayor of Istanbul is not the only case, there have been dozens of arrests and dismissals of opposition mayors, mainly in the Kurdish provinces.
The rapid and massive proliferation of social protests is due to discontent accumulated of the workers and the people with the government, due to the accelerated deterioration of their living conditions, to the accentuated antidemocratic and repressive profile of the regime.
The municipal elections of March 2024 were already a thermometer of the state of population’s mood towards the government: Erdogan suffered a harsh political defeat.
We express our solidarity with the workers, youth and people of Turkey who have taken to the streets to confront an authoritarian government, which on several occasions and circumstances he has appealed to the use of rifles to silence the protests. We condemn the violent repression that is being exercised against those they protest; We also reject the attempt to criminalize the activity carried out by the political, union and popular opposition organizations. Particularly, we express our solidarity with the comrades of the Labor Party, EMEP, who today, once again, they are part of the torrent that fights for democracy, for freedom and for social transformation.
