Our Party MLCP supports the independent revolutionary socialist candidates. It grounds its tactics and works towards elections on the need to create a united revolutionary front which bears strategic importance in terms of a revolution in Turkey. It considers the election work and common activities as a tool which will serve to this aim.

On 12th June 2011, there is going to be parliamentary elections in Turkey and N. Kurdistan. The people of Turkey are going to elect 550 MPs among the list of bourgeois regime parties and independent candidates. It is being discussed and propagated that these MPS are going to be founder of new "civilian constitution" in the parliament after 12 June.
In Turkey, the AKP (Justice and Development Party) with Islamic motives had been in the government by itself in the past 8 years. It is also being expected that it would reach the number of MPs in order to form government alone. The other assertive parties for the elections are the CHP (Republican People's Party), the main bourgeois opposition party, and MHP (Nationalist Movement Party, the Turkish nationalist and fascist. On the other hand, the election bloc which has been created by progressive and anti-fascist parties and groups, including BDP , aims to become an important political force in the parliament.
As representing the Kurdish freedom movement, BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) joins in the elections through independent candidates because of the 10% threshold in the reactionary-fascist election law. 10% threshold has been put in force in order to prevent reflection of workers, labourers and Kurdish people's political will-power to the parliament.
As a matter of fact, 7 independent candidates supported by BDP, which tries to overcome the election threshold through independent candidates, and an independent candidate supported by ESP (Socialist Party of the Oppressed) vetoed by the YSK (Supreme Election Board). The veto was indisputably a political decision and repression. Kurdish people repelled the attack through organising 3 days of uprisings. A young Kurd was killed. Hundreds of them were either taken into custody or imprisoned.
Except 3 independent candidates, including the candidate supported by ESP, the veto on the Kurdish candidates later lifted by the YSK. The result was a victory won by the revolutionary action of the Kurdish people against bullets and panzers. The colonial fascist regime forced to back down in the face of the Kurdish people's uprisings. The Kurdish people repelled the attack on its political will-power through its revolutionary action just like the people's will-power that outcast dictators in N. Africa and Middle East.
Thus the AKP government's "forward democracy" which is shown as a model for the people of Middle East took the level of its attacks at closing the parliament doors to Kurdish politicians by not confining with banning books, imprisoning journalists, imprisoning Kurdish politicians, attacking the youth movement as well as election threshold. These moves are the moves that AKP tries to paint the fascist regime with Islamic motives and re-institutionalise it. The liquidator policies, plans and moves against the Kurdish freedom movement come to open one by one every passing day. On one hand they would meet with A. Ocalan, imprisoned PKK leader in Imrali Island, by saying "It is the view of the state that government could engage in negotiations", but on the other hand they would insist on political liquidation, including military attacks.
Defeating BDP in the elections is another dimension of the liquidation. For the KCK case is a case where 2 thousand BDP cadres and officials are imprisoned and, therefore, left out of active political struggle. Also the election threshold and the veto decision represent the concrete links of the attack. In political arena, they are the liquidator plans and moves.
This is why the 12th June 2011 elections will give birth to important political results in Northern Kurdistan. Increase of BDP votes, repelling the colonial fascist regime's attacks, Kurdish people to reflect its political will-power in the political arena, sending more representatives to parliament, all these, in another word, going to mean the victory in the referendum. If the elections in Turkey is going pass between AKP and CHP, in Kurdistan BDP has already established its political influence and hegemony against AKP right at this moment. Both because of its influential candidates, position to face fascist attacks with a militant mass struggle and uprisings, and to organise revolutionary violence against the colonial fascist violence, it is evident that the election period is going to work in the direction of Kurdish freedom movement.
The election process in Kurdistan will pass in political tension and conflicts with regime. The political parties, military, police force, Mosque imams, village guards and dark JITEM of the colonial regime will join in the ranks of AKP, and the BDP and Kurdish people are going to put forward its will-power. It is obvious that the Labour, Freedom and Democracy Bloc, which is supported by BDP, will increase the number of its votes and representatives in the parliament.
Our Party MLCP supports the independent revolutionary socialist candidates. It grounds its tactics and works towards elections on the need to create a united revolutionary front which bears strategic importance in terms of a revolution in Turkey. It considers the election work and common activities as a tool which will serve to this aim.
