The Union of Socialist Forces (Turkish: Sosyalist Güç Birliği) is an electoral alliance in Turkey, formed by Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), Communist Movement of Turkey (TKH), Revolution Movement (Devrim Hareketi) and Left Party (SOL Parti), to contest the upcoming Turkish elections in 2023.[1] The alliance was made public on the 21 August 2022.[2] The alliance was announced alongside a supporting declaration, signed by 226 Turkish public figures, including intellectuals, authors, trade unionists, artists, lawyers and journalists.[3]
Ideology
In their declaration document, the alliance offers five points as their ideological ground. These points are focused on forced nationalisation and anti-capitalism, societal equality and public ownership, anti-NATO and anti-American international policies, secularism and anti-clericalism, especially against Islamic sects in Turkey, and anti-discrimination in the Turkish society.[3] The USF denotes that the Nation Alliance has "a right-wing, pro-business character" and "will not be able to solve the (real) problems of the country".[3]
