'Fund profiteering' protest by TKH in Kadıköy

A protest was organized by the Istanbul Provincial Organization of the Communist Movement of Türkiye (TKH) in Kadıköy, Istanbul, over the 'fund' profiteering that was exposed in the capital markets and victimized hundreds of thousands of investors.

During the protest of TKH members who gathered in front of the PTT building in Kadıköy Rıhtım, slogans such as "This country is ours, we will not leave it to fundraisers and thieves", "Liar, plunderer, enemy of the people AKP" and "There is no looting, there is socialism" were frequently shouted.

Speaking at the protest, TKH Chairman Aysel Tekerek said, "What we see today is the summary of AKP's 25 years. On the one hand, we have fund profiteering, on the other hand, we have at least 5 miners falling victim to work-related murders in the last week. On the one hand, we see the bans, at least a thousand sites and social media accounts were banned within a week, and on the other hand, those who pose as "examples of justice". AKP claimed that it would fight against three Y's: bans, corruption, poverty. Here is the picture at the end of 25 years." "Obviously, bans, corruption and poverty have become the name of the regime established by the AKP," he said. Tekerek concluded his words by saying, "The order established by the AKP wants to silence our voices with bans, corruption and poverty. But there is no looting, there is no despair. The party, socialism and hope are here, in our organized struggle."

After Aysel Tekerek's speech, a press release was read on behalf of the Istanbul Provincial Organization. In the press release, it was stated that "Turkey is experiencing one of the biggest 'economic' scandals. The 'fund crisis', which has been saying for months that it is coming step by step, has left behind billions of dollars of debris. The financial system, which works like a legal casino, has transferred billions of dollars into the pockets of those who benefit from the blessings of the government with the logic of 'the house always wins'."

Pointing out that there are now two roads in front of Türkiye, the statement said, "The first way is this black order that we have been living in for decades. The tip of the black order leads to the abyss. The second road leads to the Turkey of the working people. In such a country, there is no place for the legal casino called the stock market, nor for all kinds of financial robbery. This is our party's call as the Communist Movement of Turkey; it is not enough for those who have spent billions of lira in their accounts today to simply return the money. Those who set up this systematic robbery system should resign immediately and destroy their wealth." The property of those who join must be confiscated!” expressions were used.

THEY SENT A BOX WITH CLEANING MATERIALS

Following the statement, TKH Central Committee member Ahmet Tarık Yenil, speaking on behalf of the party, criticized the AKP's call for "purification". Ahmet Tarık Yenil, repeating the call of the party members who prepared the "cleaning material" parcel with the words "You cannot launder", said:

"Once upon a time, those who were against the government, and now those who are sycophants of the government, were calling the AKP as Persil and Tursil. Now today, we brought various cleaners here. Thanks to our friends, we have all kinds of cleaning materials including bleach here. Now we will send it to the headquarters of the AKP, the black party. We will say: Try these, will they clear you? Nothing can clear you!"

After the speeches, the parcel with the words "You cannot whitewash" was sent to the AKP Headquarters, while the party members ended the press release by promising to fight.
