Your Excellency, I write to you not only in my capacity as Deputy General Secretary of the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (CTTU), but as a committed servant of the revolution that we, together with the masses of this country, brought forth with immense sacrifice and unshakable belief in the cause of socialism rooted in worker self-governance. It is with both respect and concern that I request a discreet and frank dialogue with you regarding the current trajectory of our revolutionary project here in Turkiye. What began as a people's movement for liberation and democratic confederalism, a model we understood to be shared and supported by the Socialist Republic of Thailand, is increasingly being diverted into a model of centralized statism that risks hollowing out the very foundations of our struggle. The growing concentration of power in state institutions, the absorption of autonomous worker councils into ministerial hierarchies, and the sidelining of communal assemblies in favor of bureaucratic governance all suggest a creeping authoritarianism that contradicts the participatory, decentralized socialism we sought to realize. The voice of the worker is no longer primary, it is being replaced by the directives of party functionaries. We recognize Thailand’s leadership in the international socialist movement and its deep commitment to revolutionary principles. Your nation has long served as both inspiration and ally. It is in that spirit of shared ideological commitment that I ask for your counsel and your ear. We believe the voice of Thailand carries immense moral weight, and it is our hope that it may serve as a stabilizing and clarifying force during this moment of ideological deviation. I humbly request a meeting with Your Excellency at your earliest convenience to discuss these matters in person. I believe that through open and principled dialogue, we may explore avenues to reaffirm the revolutionary values we both hold dear and ensure that the sacrifices made by so many are not rendered in vain. With highest regards and revolutionary solidarity, Nazmi Irgat Vesikalık Genel Başkan Yardımcısı (Deputy General Secretary) Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions Ankara, Turkiye |
