Two more days left for people to vote abroad for the 14 May elections in Turkey and Bakur Kurdistan. In Marseille live many people from Serhat and the Green Left Party organized meetings every week through its commissions in the city, districts and villages. Kurdish tradesmen and families were visited and public meetings were held. Since the beginning of the voting process, Green Left Party voters have been encouraged to go to the polls by party activists who put vehicles at people’s disposal at 8 different points.

Based on the estimated number of people who did not vote, the Election Commission held a meeting on Saturday. Politician Ferman Garzan, who attended the meeting held at the Marseille Democratic Kurdish Community Center, said that these elections are crucial and strategically important, and added: “We must work day and night to win. Women should organize and fight for freedom. The determinants of this election are young people. We must bring this regime down.”

The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) was the first party in the 2018 elections with 48 percent of the votes in Marseille.
