Our Co-Chair, Tuncer Bakırhan, spoke at our Parliamentary Group Meeting :

New addition today to the shameful list of mayors dispossessed by the 🇹🇷 Government of their democratic mandate: the co-Mayors of #Akdeniz district in #Mersin (@DEMGenelMerkezi). This continued disregard to basic democratic principles should be taken seriously by all in the #EU.
The government continues to attack the will of the people with arrests and the appointment of #trustees! We will not give up: defending #democracy and the legitimacy of our elected officials remains our priority. The fight against this injustice will continue until #victory
Today, Akdeniz Municipality was seized, and our co-mayors HoĹźyar Sariyildiz & Nuriye Aslan, along with our council members, were detained. The AKP government continues its hostility against Kurds everywhere. But we will defeat these antidemocratic practices through our struggle.
