We are in solidarity with DEV-İŞ and BES unions, members of the World Federation of Trade Unions, who are fighting for the future and rights of municipal workers in the northern part of Cyprus.
We condemn the understanding of the current regime in the northern part of Cyprus, which is not based on any scientific criteria, lacks of democratic understanding and closed many municipalities for purely arbitrary and political purposes under the name of municipal reform, and puts the future of municipal workers organized in DEV-İŞ and BES unions into obscurity.
We call on the regime, which uses the police force to intimidate the workers in a fascist way, to respect the municipal workers, and to tolerate democratic actions and demonstrations.
