Women in Istanbul: "Let’s get rid of the AKP-MHP regime"

Women told Green Left Party candidates canvassing in Beyoğlu and Esenyurt, in Istanbul, “Let’s get rid of the AKP; Women will win”.

The Green Left Party Beyoğlu Borough Organization visited the tradesmen in Beyoğlu district and distributed leaflets at the market place in Hacıahmet District.

Istanbul candidate Kamile Kandal drew attention to the economic crisis, violence against women, and the AKP's repression policies, and asked the public to vote for the Green Left Party on 14 May.

Women in the borough stopped Kandal chanting slogans and said: "Let’s get rid of the AKP government. Women will win. We want the thieves to leave as soon as possible. Our vote is for the Green Left Party."

The market tradesmen, on the other hand, complained about the increasing prices of vegetables and fruits, and said that the AKP government, which did not produce any solution to the problems experienced, should go. After the leaflet was distributed, the Green Left Party visited the shopkeepers of the district, listened to their problems and exchanged ideas on how to solve the problems. Then, the team visited the election tent in Taksim Square and the election stand in Okmeydanı.

The Green Left Party Istanbul candidates İlknur Birol and Ercan Sağlam visited the shopkeepers in Esenyurt and distributed leaflets.
