Erkan Baş announces TİP Liberation Manifesto in Turkey

Erkan Baş, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP), has officially announced the “TİP Liberation Manifesto” during a meeting with party executives. Baş stated that the goal of the manifesto is to mobilize a social force that will not surrender to the current government.

Addressing economic inequality, Baş noted that the wealthiest 1% in Turkey holds more than 35% of the total wealth, while 50% of the population holds only 2.5%. He argued that wealth is increasingly accumulating among a small minority while millions face poverty.

Baş also criticized the current political climate, describing the rise of authoritarianism and the use of the judiciary as tools of suppression as efforts to sustain the existing system. He urged the opposition to look beyond mere changes in government and instead question the fundamental structure of the political and economic order.
