On the 14th of August, ESP (The Socialist Platform of the Oppressed) organised a demonstration in front of the US Embassy in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, before the referendum that was imposed by the USA and its collaborators in Venezuela in order to overthrow President Hugo Chavez who follows an anti-American political line. In the demonstration, the people saluted the Venezuelan People's honourable stance against USA imperialism and emphasised that ESP is together with the people of Venezuela.
The people from ESP, who were carrying banners and placards writing "Down with USA imperialism", "Thousands of Greetings to the resisting Venezuelan People", "Long Live the Solidarity of the Peoples", "Not the people of Venezuela but USA will lose", shouted slogans such as "Long Live the Venezuelan People's Resistance", "Long Live Peoples' Brotherhood", "One Day USA will be brought to justice by the people" etc. In their statements, ESP said: "The referendum for the Presidency of the country will also be an election between the free-will of the Venezuelan People and imperialist USA bandits. The election, which will concern the continuation of Chavez's State Presidency, will be an election between the American monster, who turned the world into bloodshed, and the resistance of the people who are trying to protect their honour against the USA. Tens of occupations, military coups, massacres that lay from Latin America to the Middle East and Asia, the military coups in Guatemala, Chile, Nicaragua, Argentina that were organised by the bloodthirsty USA are sill fresh in the minds of the people. The bandit USA has today put Venezuela on its target. The American bandits want to turn the Latin American soils, which have been announced as the back-garden by the USA, into a rose garden without thorns for themselves. USA is trying to organise military coups, uprisings, and is trying to break the will of the people and surrender them with sanctions, de facto oppression and threats in order to form a puppet administration in Venezuela. But each time they have crashed into strong rocks. Once again they have lost against the will of the Venezuelan people in the rebellious and resisting soils of Latin America. We as the Socialist Platform of the Oppressed greet the unbreakable attitude of the Venezuelan people and shout that we are together with them." The demonstration was ended with the announced belief that the USA will lose once again against the Venezuelan people.
At the referendum which took place on 15th August, Chavez's side won a victory against the monopoly capital and the imperialists by achieving 58.8 percent of the votes with the support of the oppressed and exploited people against the front which was formed by the collaborator capital and directly supported by the USA.

Throughout the month of August, ESP had also protested the increasing attacks against the Kurdish people and declared that it will continue to support the demand of freedom of the Kurdish people.
The Kurdish people have been made a target of chauvinist and militarist total-attack after an armed conflict that occurred between the HPG (People's Protection Forces) guerrilla forces and the state forces on the night of 28th July in Amed (Diyarbakir), and on the personality of the mayor of Amed, Osman Baydemir who gave a visit to the family of a martyred HPG guerrilla.
