European Communist Action: Statement on the 90th founding anniversary of the International Brigades

Statement of the European Communist Action: The right of popular families to vacation is sacrificed on the altar of profit through the ruthless exploitation of tourism workers

The right to leisure and rest is a social right, just like the right to work, touching on issues of health, culture, and even sports. This right has been and continues to be the subject of class struggles for the physical and intellectual capacities of workers. The struggle for paid leave or for the reduction of working hours are just two examples.

The explosion of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki – crimes which should never be forgotten - demonstrated to the world the ruthless nature of U.S. imperialism and the terrible and devastating consequences of the use of nuclear weapons.

URGENT statement of the European Communist Action in solidarity with TKP

The European Communist Action condemns the brutal repression and mass arrests of demonstrators, journalists, etc., including members and cadres of the Communist Party of Turkey, who oppose the unacceptable actions of the Turkish state in relation to arresting and removing from office the elected mayors in Istanbul, which means violation of right to vote and to be elected. These choices are in service to the political interests of the ruling AKP government and highlight its blatant disregard for any and all democratic processes.
