İnce also stated that common struggle grounds will be increased. Reacting to the arrests on May Day, Gezi trial and Kobanê trial decisions, İnce emphasized that the minimum wage should also be increased and said: "The right to union organization, which is included in the Constitution, is prevented for arbitrary reasons. They tell the working class and laborers to be obedient slaves of capital. Despite all the attacks, they could not and will not prevent the workers' struggle for rights. We will grow the fire of resistance wherever there is oppression and slavery, as in many squares, factories and businesses today."
 
CALL TO ALL SOCIETY
 
İnce stated that the AKP-MHP government cannot hide the facts and said that they do not accept the law on killing animals by 'putting them to sleep'. Calling to expand the common struggle with women, İnce said the following: “We invite all workers, laborers, peoples, all oppressed and exploited segments to protect our labor and freedom, and to expand the struggle against the attacks imposed by trustees. We call on you to take stronger steps to expand the united struggle against those who impose oppression, exploitation and misery wherever there is life in factories, neighborhoods, schools, homes and fields, and those who put the trustee coup into action. We call on you to mobilize to create a world that is equal, free of war and exploitation."
