Call for support of HDP in the 24 June elections
Early presidential and general elections will be held on 24 June in Turkey. Together with the nationalist MHP, president Erdoğan and his AKP party want to capitalise on the war-mongering situation of the illegal offensive in Afrin to increase their power and legitimatise dictatorship.
In addition, a centre-right alliance with the main opposition party CHP and the newly founded IYI party was established. They are promoting themselves as defenders of parliamentary democracy, but still hold on to the homogenising policy and the so-called fight against terrorism regarding key problems, especially the Kurdish question.
The People’s Democratic Party HDP is the only democratic and progressive alternative. Thousands of their members, 84 Co-majors, 7 parliamentarian and the former Co-chairs are imprisoned.
More than ever Turkey needs this pluralistic, progressive-democratic, ecological and gender-aligned power. Therefore we call to vote for HDP and their presidential candidate Selahattin Demirtaş, former Co-Chair of HDP.
