Gothenburg Municipality in solidarity with HDP
Bernmar and Broman ended their message with “Resist Diyarbakır, Resist Mardin, Resist Van”.
Sweden’s Gothenburg City Council members Carl Daniel Bernmar and Jenny Broman condemned the AKP-MHP regime’s seizure of metropolitan municipalities of Diyarbakır, Mardin and Van won by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) in March 31 local elections.
In a video message he posted on social media, Carl Daniel Bernmar, who represents the Left Party in the City Council, stated that Erdoğan has appointed 3 loyal men to replace the 3 Kurdish mayors he removed from the post on August 19.
Bernmar recalled that the elected Kurdish mayors had won the March 31 local elections by landslide, and condemned Erdoğan’s seizure of the people’s will. He highlighted their solidarity with the democratic forces in Turkey and Kurdistan.
I augusti avsatte Erdogans regim tre demokratiskt valda borgmästare i Turkiet och ersatte dem med regimtrogna. Ett av många steg i Erdogans väg bort från en demokratisk utveckling. Kämpa Van, Mardin och Diyarbakir! För fred, demokrati och frihet!@HDPenglish @HDPgenelmerkezi pic.twitter.com/KKHL9JWhVj
