ATIK | 11 – 05 – 2011 | Dear Friends,
As the Confederation of Workers from Turkey in Europe (ATIK) we salute you, our migrant brothers and sisters who have started and still continue on May 1st a occupation- action in front of the Massa Cathedral on May 1st against racist laws and oppression and we declare our support to all of you.The states which constitute the European Union, have in the previous years, brought out a series of new laws in to control the migrant movements in the world. The state-members of the imperialist EU, continously make new evaluations towards migrants. According to these evaluations all the new legal regulations that are made do not serve the interests and benefits of the migrants, but they only serve the profits of the imperialist state namely the capital. These new laws of the imperialist-capitalist system openly demonstrate that the fundamental rights of the migrants will be denied.
The question of migration, wether of the European states, wether in the international arena, has become a topic that degrees to be a growing current political issue. The European states are the most migrant recieving countries and under the pretext of “preventing migration” every day mor new racist and suppressive laws are released. For this reason, our brothers and sisters who face these suppressive and racist laws wage a justified struggle for which we believe is just and legal and we want you to know that we stand by you.
On this behalf, to get the democratic demands of the migrants accepted; the importance of the solidarity of the anti-imperialist migrant organizations is important, we invite progressive institutions, anti-fascist organizations and political parties to move together on the right place at the right time together. We forward our international solidarity salutes and wish you a great success in your struggle.
*No to Segregative and Racsist Laws!
*Down with Imperialism and all Reaction!
