The Confederation of Revolutionary Workers' Unions of Turkey (DİSK), the Confederation of Public Employees' Unions (KESK), the Union of Chambers of Engineers and Architects of Turkey (TMMOB), and the Turkish Medical Association (TTB) announced the May 1 program.
Unions and professional organizations came together at Beşiktaş Pier Square to announce the May 1 program.
Speaking here, DİSK General President Arzu Çerkezoğlu provided information about the significance of May 1, stating, "The truth declared on the May 1 podium in 1977 is the same in 1989, 1996, 2004, 2010, 2021, 2024, and it will be the same in 2025. This truth has not changed and will not change in the years when our path is tyrannically cut off."
MEETINGS HELD WITH THE GOVERNORSHIP AND MINISTRY
Speaking about Taksim Square, Çerkezoğlu said, "Taksim Square is a historical reality. It is a legal reality. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) made a decision regarding a square for the first time in the world. The Constitutional Court has explicitly ruled that workers, laborers, and women in Turkey can celebrate May 1 in Taksim."
Çerkezoğlu explained that meetings were held with the Istanbul Governorship and the Ministry to celebrate May 1 in Taksim Square, and continued her remarks as follows:
"We are faced with an unlawful, judiciary-defying, constitution-defying, prohibitive, and tyrannical approach. This year, once again, we conveyed our determination to celebrate May 1 and meet in the May 1 square to the political authority governing the country. We held meetings with the Istanbul Governorship and the Ministry. However, once again, we all witnessed that this prohibitive attitude continues."
WILL BE CELEBRATED IN KADIKÖY
We are fighting for a country where no one is above the law and the constitution. Today, we are once again faced with a reality. The liberation of Taksim is one of the very important building blocks of Turkey's struggle to escape this oppressive regime and the struggle for democracy. We are confronted with the reality that the liberation of May 1 and Taksim is only possible with the establishment of a system where democracy prevails and we put an end to this oppressive regime.
In the growing struggle against this unjust order, it is our common determination that it is our most important duty to see and show the strength of workers, retirees, laborers, youth, and children coming together in the squares and standing up. As institutions organizing May 1 together this year, we decided to meet in squares across Turkey and to celebrate May 1 in Kadıköy Square with millions of our class brothers and sisters, asserting our will for Taksim against this prohibitive attitude."
