On 14 May, crucial elections are due to be held in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. The elections are considered fateful and an opportunity to put an end to the tottering AKP/MHP fascism. Voting has already begun in some countries abroad. In Germany, voting has been going on since 27 April. To make it easier for voters to reach the polling stations, the Green Left Party's foreign election coordination, consisting of almost 50 institutions, has set up a transport network. Hundreds of drivers take eligible voters to the polls.
