It was called “reform” or “package”. The AKP government’ packages are so many that they can’t be counted and they are this different that they’re confusing! Whenever having trouble the AKP government launched a “new” package. The last example was after the arrests during the corruption operations from December 17th-25th 2013. In order to save itself and to collect votes for the upcoming elections (February), it came up with the “democracy package”. It used this package only for itself.

In a country where the laws change often and laws are introduced for constant and current problems, the new laws only serve the state turning into a police state, the fascist dictatorship turns into “police fascist dictatorship” and these laws are called “reform” or “package” (showing Europe as referee), everyone knows that this is not reliable.

 

The actions concerning Kobane on October 6-7 of whom most took place in Northern Kurdistan frightened the state. The term mainly used at that time was “the army came back on the streets”. The fascist dictatorship came up with “inner security laws” to take new oppressing measures and to make the streets empty in order to “safe the public order” by pretending the actions for Kobane.

 

A characteristic of the AKP government is to consider social problems and the reaction to these social problems as a problem of inner security. Because of that it uses violence and enshrines it in the act as the first precautions to secure the safety that its own regime understands of.

 

The effort of the state to ensure “our security”:

 

Molotov cocktails are now a means of attack; no one is allowed to mum and make an action; the police are allowed to search people and vehicles and by that there’s no requirement of a attorney’s or court’s permission; under the pretence of “actions that seriously attack the public order”,

the police are allowed to arrest people up to 48 hours without having the attorney’s permission beforehand, the police is given the right to use armed weapons in order to hinder attacks with Molotov cocktails or “similar weapons” on buildings, vehicles or people in public; the principle of the state’s separation of power between legislature, executive and judiciary has been injured and the governors and police are given the authority to order the prosecution of some crimes and suspects.

 

In order to hinder its former ally the Gülen movement to take roots within the police, the AKP government not only dissolves the police academies but uses the gendarmerie that is responsible for the inner security of the army and that works wherever the police isn’t responsible (countryside) as a police force by totally subordinating them to the interior ministry so that the government is given full authority to order.

However, the “Inner Security Law” isn’t only limited to these articles.

 

What the reality showed us:

With this “reform” the AKP government has made the state’s separation of power between legislature, executive and judiciary which is one main characteristic of bourgeois democracy invalid to some extent. Since president Erdogan’s understanding of a presidency system is nothing else than a “single man” dictatorship, the difference between the new “reform” and the powers is only serving Erdogan’s dictatorship.

 

It is clear that the AKP government under the leadership of Erdogan wants to lean his dictatorship on the gendarmerie forces affiliated to the police and Inner Ministry instead of the army.

 

In the name of the AKP government the fascist dictatorship wants to spread “funereal silence” within the country, especially during the Gezi-rebellion in June it saw that the Turkish people can also go on the streets and force the power. The government reacts knowing the fact that this struggle united with the Kurdish nation’s freedom and democracy is a danger for their power to continue. It aims at strengthening legal precautions in order to hinder any protest and action on the street against it.

 

The AKP government’s speciality for demagogy on any topic; its plan to extend the freedom period; its efforts to separate the society in terms of ethnic, religion and cults; plans to lead the working class and labourer masses according to its own aim considering them as a herd and; its understanding to distract the work-related accidents ending with death as “fate” won’t last for long. In the upcoming period, objective conditions for a rise of the struggle for freedom, democracy and socialism will be more mature than usually.
