Every year there is a -for me- nonsense tension on 1st of May. The blue collar workers want to celebrate that day on Taksim Square and the government doesn't allow. The same theatre occurs each year. This year the tension rose more because of some words of the PM.
The reason the government doesn't allow is what happened on 1.5.1977: Sadly, 36 people died during the 1 May celebrations in Taksim.
My general opinion is the more you ban something, the more you say "no", the attractive you make it in the eyes of people. Government can take all necessary precautions, control very carefully and allow people to demonstrate/celebrate there.
How many times has history shown that bans don't last forever. And what you ban, should be ruined.
