Following the removal of Sevgi Park in Hatay, the solidarity areas in Serinyol in Antakya district are also at risk of being removed.
Purple Solidarity members made a statement in Serinyol, to protest the evacuation. Yaren Esin from Purple Solidarity underlined that a month has passed since the earthquake and said: “It is the first month of the massacre that took place because of the capitalist patriarchal state and the government. 'Where is the state?' While there are threats and swearing in response to the question, we are with women as always."
'We shake the chairs of those neglecting people'
Esin said that they will expand the struggle by organizing neighbourhoods, and added: "There is a housing, thirst and livelihood crisis on our agenda. We shake the seats of those neglecting people. They are afraid of our common unity and fighting. That’s why they want people to leave the areas they have established together."
‘We will build free cities’
Protesting to the attempts to evacuate the solidarity areas in Serinyol after Sevgi Park, Esin said: "Your threats and pressure did and will not intimidate us. We will continue to fight until we build free cities."
