Freedom, Justice, Equality for Women! Long Live May 1st! — MLKP

In the halls of the palace where anti-people plans are being prepared, new attacks on women‘s life, women‘s rights and demands, especially the “family law” and the “right to alimony“, have been decided. The fascist chieftaincy regime is waiting for an opportunity to launch this male-dominated state attack on women.

The fascist colonialist dictatorship of Tayyip Erdoğan has completed its preparations to turn Kurdistan into a bloodbath, spread the occupation areas and carry out genocidal massacres during the summer period. Poverty is sweeping the country. Young students are taking their lives in universities and dormitories due to economic difficulties and housing problems. Retired mine workers die in the mines they enter in their old age to alleviate their livelihoods. Poverty drowns workers‘ homes in unrest, tension and suffering. Unemployment makes people unable to breathe. Debt makes millions of people desperate.

The most essential living needs of the workers are made unaffordable with the new price hikes. Rents, gas and electricity costs are disrupting the sleep of the poor. The cost of transportation in the city, even feeding a meal on the street, and cigar money leave millions of working people, especially young people, in the most desperate situations. In the cities where the state has increased its destructiveness and the earthquake has drowned death and grief, a thousand difficulties are bleeding the wounds of our people.

While all this is going on and the pain of unemployment, poverty and high prices is all around, the fascist chief and his accomplices will spend the money on fascist colonial war, bombs, bullets and weapons. Tayyip Erdogan, as Turkey‘s Hitler and Netanyahu, has been imprisoned in the state borders of Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey, deprived of their national democratic rights; moreover, it wants to genocide the Kurdish people, whose population is counted in tens of millions, and to destroy their achievements, for which the Turkish bourgeois state exhibits racism of denying its existence.

Brothers!

Let us not be silent, let us not watch, let us show the power of the working class and our peoples. The 15-16 June, the “Shut Down the DGMs” protests, the mass sea of May 1, 77 that did not fit in Taksim, the Warning to Fascism demonstrations, the mass wave of workers that surrounded all sides in the autumn of ‘90 and reached its peak with the Zonguldak-Ankara march, the serhildans that swept Northern Kurdistan many times in the ‘90s and 2000s, the Gazi uprising, the Gezi-June uprising, the Kobanê serhildan of October 6-8, and the popular revolt that appeared in Wan against the trustee fascists after the March 31 elections are our sources of inspiration and encouragement.

Brothers!

To shout that we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian people against the occupation and genocidal attacks of the racist, fascist colonialist Israel,

Let‘s unite in the squares of May 1 to raise the memory of May 1, 77 and all May Day immortals.

Against the current onslaught of increasing impoverishment, exploitation and robbery,

Against the usurpation of democratic rights, either de facto or by new laws,

Against the attack planned to be launched against women under the name of “Family Law” and “Regulation on the Right to Alimony“,

Against the persecution of revolutionary and patriotic prisoners, fascist practices, isolation terror and the İmralı torture system based on absolute isolation,

Against the fascist colonial war, which was launched and will gradually expand, starting with the forces of freedom, to genocide the Kurdish nation, to strangle the Rojava revolution, to create grave silence in Kurdistan, to prevent the United Revolution,

For Freedom, Justice, Equality for Women and Peoples, which is the longing and demand of workers, unemployed, women, youth, public workers, the poor, the working peasantry, intellectuals, artists, scientists, Kurdish people, Alevis, national communities, LGBTI+s,
