Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) will be concluding the conference process launched in May with the 1st Central Organization Conference to be held on August 3-4 in Amed.

ESTABLISHING A ROADMAP

The conference will be held in the Amed Metropolitan Municipality’s Cultural and Congress Center with the slogan, “Tear Down Fascism Through Democratic Politics” with 800 delegates chosen from provincial and regional conferences.

HDP Co-chair Sezai Temelli will give an opening speech and representatives from DTK, HDK and HDP constituents, as well as former HDP MPs and individuals like Onur Hamzaoglu.

The conference will discuss topics like the state of the organization, solutions for patriarchal tendencies within the party, ways to return to politics with the people based on communal democracy from representational politics, methods for better youth organizing, solutions for issues detected in workshops, meetings and conferences, HDK/DTK and HDP’s opportunities for reciprocal growth and advisory decrees.

The conference will establish the HDP’s roadmap for the coming term, which will be made public in a declaration.

DOZENS OF MEETINGS, CONFERENCES, WORKSHOPS

As part of the 1st Central Orgnization Conference, some 50 meetings, local conferences and workshops have been held to date in local centers.

WOMEN ARE READY

The women’s assembly participated in regional conferences with their resolutions from local meetings and conferences as well as their own decrees, and will be attending the Central Organization Conference.

A MOVE FOR RESTRUCTURING AND ORGANIZING

HDP’s conferences to date have all discussed theoretical subjects like democratic politics, the “3rd way”, solutions for societal issues and the dichotomy of peace and war in Turkey.

HDP is aiming to launch a move for restructuring and organizing, starting from the local chapters, through the outcome of the Central Organization Conference.
