🔴Statement of the European Communist Action on the 2026 G7 Summit, which is dangerous for the interests of the people The main leaders of the Euro-Atlantic capitalist bloc will meet at the G7 Summit, to be held in Évian, France, from 15 to 17 June 2026, to update capitalist arrangements regarding energy, which is highly costly for the peoples, the so-called security and anti-people governance. The 2026 G7 summit will take place in the context of efforts to halt the consolidation of the capitalist bloc led by China, thanks to its capitalist development, which, in alliance with Russia, is challenging the United States for the status of leading economic power. The European Communist Action condemns the anti-worker and anti-popular orientation and policies of the bourgeois governments of the G7, NATO and the European Union which, amidst the growing contradictions and tensions between major capitalist competitors, seek above all to secure their access to natural resources, the routes for transporting them, as well as control over technological services and their production chains, invariably to the detriment of the working conditions and lives of the peoples and workers. The negotiations concerning a ceasefire in relation to the latest developments in the imperialist wars in Ukraine and Iran, which will be on the agenda, will be fragile, while the conditions that are taking shape carry the risk of a generalization of the war that could lead to more serious consequences for the peoples of the respective regions and the world. While capitalist monopolies share the world among themselves, the people suffer and are subjected to unbearable living conditions. The United States and Israel are continuing their genocidal aggression against the Palestinian people. The criminal blockade imposed on socialist Cuba is now accompanied by military threats of attack, as reflected in the presence of the US Army’s Southern Command (Southcom). The European Union, for its part, intensifies its plans for military rearmament, including a wide range of measures of further militarisation such promoting development on key industrial areas directly or indirectly linked to the war industry, expanding public spending on the military in the framework of NATO needs, and so on. Moreover, it is escalating attacks on workers’ rights and the criminalisation of the worker-popular movement, notably through its anti-communist resolutions. We call upon the peoples to strengthen their struggle for the disengagement of their countries from the G7, NATO, the EU, and every imperialist alliance and to wage a determined struggle against all forms of bourgeois administration of the capitalist system, whether liberal or social-democratic. We call for the strengthening of the worker-popular movement, its independence, its organisation, its collective struggles and its class orientation to confront the capitalist monopolies, to defend stable work, quality healthcare and affordable transport, and prevent the peoples from being sacrificed in the imperialists’ slaughterhouses of war. In the face of imperialist aggression, we call for the strengthening of solidarity with the peoples of Cuba, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Venezuela, and all other peoples. The European Communist Action reaffirms that the only solution to stop the suffering of the working class and the people is the intensification of the struggle to overthrow capitalism through the Socialist revolution, with the establishment of the worker’s power, Socialism-Communism and a centrally planned economy. eurcomact.org/m-article/Stat…

🔴TKP calls for mass rally against NATO Summit in Ankara 📌The Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) has called for a mass anti-NATO rally in Ankara on 5 July, ahead of the NATO Summit scheduled to take place in the capital Turkey on 7–8 July. 📌In its initial appeal, the party described NATO as an organization that has brought war and destruction to peoples around the world since its foundation and argued that the summit would further integrate Turkey into NATO’s military and political agenda. Calling on citizens to gather in Ankara’s Tandoğan Square, TKP declared: “NATO means death and dishonor. Long live life, independence and socialism.” 📌TKP had declared July 4–12 an Anti-NATO Summit. As part of the week's activities, an international meeting will be held on 4 July in Ankara, bringing together parties from NATO member states and across Europe. A significant number of parties have already confirmed their participation. 📌TKP Central Committee also issued another statement in response to reports suggesting that extraordinary security measures could be imposed in Ankara during the summit and that the anti-NATO rally might face restrictions. Referring to NATO as “the world’s largest terrorist organization,” TKP warned the authorities: “Don’t even think about it!” To read more about the statement: tkp.org.tr/en/agenda/tkp-cal…

Koç Holding held celebrations in the capital to mark the 100th anniversary, while the people they exploit are living in dire poverty. Leaders of all bourgeois parties, from the government to the opposition, took part in the celebrations organised by the Koç family, who are part-owners of this anti-republican, anti-worker system. However, they found themselves facing this country's communists and patriots. We spoke out at the 'celebrations': There are those in this country who will not bow down to you. We mean what we say: We will expropriate everything you have stolen from the people!”
100 yıllık hırsızlığın, Koç’un karşısına dikildik! Halkımız büyük bir yoksulluk içindeyken Koç Holding’in 100. yılı dolayısıyla Ankara’da kutlama yapan sömürücüler, karşılarında bu ülkenin komünistlerini, yurtseverlerini buldular. AKP, CHP ve MHP dahil tüm patron partilerinin liderleri, cumhuriyet ve emekçi düşmanı bu düzenin sahiplerinden Koç’un kutlamasında önlerini ilikleyerek yer aldı. O "kutlamaların" önünden seslendik: Bu ülkede karşınızda önünü iliklemeyenler var. Sözümüz söz: Halktan çaldığınız her şeyi devletleştireceğiz!

On the 63rd anniversary of his passing, Nâzım Hikmet continues to illuminate the path of those who struggle for an equal, enlightened, and independent country. The great poet Nâzım Hikmet passed away 63 years ago today. Throughout his life, he was part of the struggle for the emancipation of humanity. The two most important things in his life were his homeland and his party. Those who tried to separate his art and personality from his communist identity never succeeded. Today, as exploitation and imperialist aggression intensify, Nâzım’s party calls on everyone to join the struggle against the parasitic capitalist class that seizes our resources for its own interests and seeks to make our country a partner in NATO’s bloody plans, together with its political representatives.
