Meanwhile the bourgeois Turkish state on the one hand extends the dirty war, which it carries out in Northern Kurdistan, to the mountains of Southern Kurdistan; on the other hand it increases the attacks against the social and political rights of the workers and labourers.
The attacks of privatisation, which were started to be applied comprehensively in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan after the military coup in 1980, were intensified in the 1990ies. Especially after the detention of the leader of the PKK , Abdullah Ocalan due to an international complot in 1999 and the operation taking place in 20 prisons simultaneously in order to take the revolutionary prisoners to the F-type isolation prisons on December 19 , 2000 , the bourgeois Turkish state accelerated the privatisation and the attacks of neoliberal demolition. After the AKP became the strongest party in the general elections of November 3, 2002 and formed alone the government, TUSIAD (employers´ association) joined the rising star AKP and applied its programme of demolition without loosing time.
In 2003, flexible and insecure work has been legalised through the law number 4857, called slavery law by the trade-union and mass organisations. The next steps were the privatisation of big state enterprises, among them also Petkim, some parts of Tekel and Tupras, as well as many other enterprises and sold off to the international monopolies. The workers of Seydisehir, Tekel, Pasabahce and Seka carried out a determined struggle against privatisation and the closure of the factories.
In the area of the labouring state officials the law of Public Management was passed from the parliament, which means the liquidation of qualified and secure work and can be considered as the slavery law in this sector. In the area of health also important measures towards privatisation were applied by laws including cuts in the health insurance ( SSK ) and many other laws passed in parliament.

Finally, the AKP government intents now to apply a new neoliberal demolition plan with the draft law of Social Insurance and General Health Insurance (SSGSS). The law has been worked out according to the directives of the IMF and TUSIAD destroys the right for social insurance to a big extent and includes decisions, which mean the privatisation of the health sector.
The law includes the raising of the retirement age for women from 58 and for men from 60 to 65 for both men and women. The required time one has to make pension contributions was raised to 9000 days. Before, it has only been raised from 5000 to 7000 days. With cuttings from 23-32 % the pensions were lowered even under the hunger line. It is planned to completely privatise the health system by means of the law of the General Health Insurances, and this in a country were a working public health system never existed anyway. The draft law also provides for abolishment of the social rights for labouring women during pregnancy and to lower the support during the period of breast feeding to one instead of three minimum wages.
After the collaborating AKP government had passed the slavery law, in 2003 it included the draft law for the General Health Insurances (GSS) into the agenda. In 2004, the draft was revised and in 2005 presented to the parliament. The parliament accepted it last year, but the constitutional court abolished it afterwards. As a result of this, the AKP government applied the method to impose the law piece by piece with single decrees. After all this delays, now it has included the draft law firmly determined again into the agenda.
The SSGSS-attack of the fascist dictatorship coincides exactly with the colonialist operation in Southern Kurdistan. The bourgeois Turkish state on the hand attacks the liberations struggle of the Kurdish people and on the other hand it attacks the rights of the workers and labourers won in struggle. The struggle, which has to be fought against the law is at the same time an occasion to tie a connection between the working class and the labourers in the West (in Turkey) and the struggle for freedom in Northern Kurdistan and to try hard to use the opportunities of the united struggle. In order to strengthen the fraternity of the peoples against chauvinism, the Turkish workers and labourers have to won for the struggle for peace and freedom.
Our party MLCP actively participates with this perspective in the struggle platforms founded all over the country on a central and local level against the law and carries out activities in order to mobilise the broadest parts of the workers and labourers on the line of fighting for the rights against the law, carry out a broad information campaign against the law and set free a great power of action against the law.
