World Communist and Workers’ Parties:
On the occasion of the May Day, the international day of solidarity with the workers of the world, we, the undersigned parties and organisations, greet the workers and working people of Iran and wish them success in their complicated and difficult struggle for decent life and working conditions, and for their universal rights to freely assemble and organize and freedom of speech.
We have been following the critical events in and around Iran, particularly the shattering and unprecedented socio-economic crisis due to the anti-people measures of the Iranian regime on one side, and the harsh and paralysing economic sanctions imposed on Iran on the other side. The threats of war and intervention and wide spread economic sanctions have exacerbated the living conditions of the working people of Iran and forced millions of people to live under the line of poverty. According to media reports, industries have been forced to close down or operate under-capacity and massive number of workers are laid off due to the lack of raw material and spare components; well being of the people has been compromised due to inadequate supply of medical equipments and medications; and prices of daily basic goods and housing have soared due to devaluation of the national currency and uncontainable inflation, just to mention a few. It is apparent that the sanctions and the lack of economic policies that would serve the interests of the working people have provoked an economy based on brokerage and imports, tenderpreneurship, and the control of the major parts of the economy by the leaders and military commanders of Guard Corps and their affiliates.
While we welcome the recent positive progress in discussions over the nuclear program of Iran and detente among the parties, we reiterate our strong opposition against the harsh economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU on Iran and demand the ending of economic sanctions, which only harm the lives of the ordinary people of Iran and would only serve the interests of a powerful and wealthy minority.
Once again, we salute the working class and working people of Iran on the occasion of the International Workers’ Day, and express our support for their struggle for peace, social justice, democratic rights and human rights.
