Six months after the earthquake in Elbistan district, located in Kahramanmaraş and located at the epicenter of the disaster of the century earthquakes, the textile factory, which was built by the then AK Party municipality and employed 60 women affected by the earthquake, was closed by the CHP municipality. While women were victims of the earthquake, the machines in the factory were put up for sale.

IT WAS HOPE FOR WOMEN

Thousands of houses and workplaces were destroyed and hundreds of people lost their lives in Elbistan district, which was the epicenter of the earthquakes that occurred on February 6, the disaster of the century. Mehmet Gürbüz, the then AK Party Mayor who accelerated the projects after the earthquake, realized his dream textile factory in order to contribute to the employment of women, only 6 months after the earthquake, with the contributions of the Ministry of Industry and Technology. Earthquake-affected women were employed in the first textile factory established by the municipality in the Organized Industrial Zone. Mayor Mehmet Gürbüz said in an interview with SABAH in January 2024 that they created their own brand, they had 60 employees, and that they planned to make the factory full capacity and employ 200 people. SABAH featured the example of entrepreneurship in its headline on February 1, 2024.

MATERIALS ARE ON SALE

However, after the election of March 31, 2024, Elbistan municipality passed to CHP and the municipal administration did not give the necessary importance to the factory. The factory door was locked. Now, the materials in the factory, including the sewing machine, production looms and other equipment, have been put out to tender. The materials will be sold through a tender to be held in the municipal council hall on May 22.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 158th Establishment Anniversary of the Council of State and the Council of State and Administrative Jurisdiction Day Ceremony:

From the times when a segment of the society felt strange in their own country, we have reached a level of maturity where politics and public administration communicate with the citizens at eye level. We put an end to all kinds of privilege and discrimination. We removed the barbed wire fences placed between the people and the republic. Especially with the Presidential Government System, we ensured that the will of the nation would be decisive in state administration. “The ideal of good governance”; It has gained power and position especially with the legal and structural reforms implemented in the last 23 years. The way for democratic control of the administration has been paved with institutions such as the right to petition and information, and the ombudsman.

WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF COURTS FROM 126 TO 245: We increased the number of courts from 126 to 245, increasing it by 68 percent. We increased the number of provinces with administrative courts to 72 and the number of provinces with tax courts to 39. We made the biggest innovation in the system by introducing the appeal method 10 years ago. The transition from two-level jurisdiction to three-level jurisdiction has strengthened the Council of State’s “qualification as a court of jurisprudence” and significantly reduced its workload. While the number of files opened in the system before the appeal was close to 186 thousand, by the end of 2025 this figure decreased to 82 thousand.

OUR WILL FOR REFORM IS ALIVE AND STRONG AS THE FIRST DAY: Our will for reform is as alive and strong as the first day. We will continue to take new steps that will increase efficiency, accountability, participation and transparency in public administration. In addition to public administration, the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the administrative judicial process maintains its priority in our reform agenda. In the period we are in; We will continue to increase our efforts for a more effective, faster and fairer administrative justice system.

TURKEY DEVELOPS THROUGH AN ALL-OFF STRUGGLE: It is the primary duty of everyone who bears the trust and responsibility of the nation to rule with justice and righteousness, to see public powers not as a tool of domination but as a means of serving the public. Judicial bodies must act objectively, fairly and within the limits set by the Constitution and laws; It is undoubtedly much more important than the attitudes of all other institutions, organizations and individuals. We pay the price for even the smallest negligence or violation in this regard, not only the relevant authorities, but all of us, as the nation and the state. Since we are all citizens of this country; Therefore, we have to protect Türkiye’s interests, Türkiye’s future, and Türkiye’s peace. If Türkiye is to develop, grow, and rise above the level of contemporary civilizations, this can only be achieved through an all-out struggle.

WE SHOULD APPLY FROM CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

No unlawful interference in the exercise of judicial power can be tolerated or excused. However, the judiciary does not have the right or authority to act or make decisions under the tutelage of the legislature or the executive. Our Constitution; It has limited its jurisdiction to the control of legality and stated that this authority cannot be used as a control of propriety. In other words, while it gave the legal control authority to the judicial authorities, it reserved the administrative discretion in favor of the administration. We must look for ways to benefit from the corrective, healing and transformative effects of constructive criticism in the broadest possible way.

President of the Council of State, Zeki Yiğit, presented the formation document of the Council of State in the state archives to Erdoğan.

NEW, INCLUSIVE LIBERTARIAN, CIVIL CONSTITUTION…

A new, encompassing, libertarian and civil constitution stands before us with the possibility of building our democracy from the bottom up. We have to transform the Constitution from a framework determined by the coup plotters or elites and imposed on the society, into a text determined by the society itself and declared to the state. With such a constitution, it will be possible for us to achieve a “superior legal logic” that will protect both law, democracy, state and nation at the same time. We will continue to keep this issue at the top of our agenda, above all political considerations.

SOCIAL MEDIA BECAME A LYNCING OPERATION DEVICE

Of course, I exclude the “lynching culture”, which has now gone out of control on social media and has become unpleasant and low-level. Because this lynching is sometimes directed at politicians, sometimes at the judiciary, sometimes at the bureaucracy, and sometimes at the citizens on the street; It works as an operational device rather than serving the quest for rights and justice.

In our recent political history, we have been exposed to various provocations, including the Council of State. As on December 17-25, we experienced a treacherous coup attempt aimed at overthrowing the legitimate government by an organization that had infiltrated the judiciary.

NO ONE IS AFRAID IN THE STATE OF LAW

The most general definition of the rule of law is that the state, with all its institutions and organs, remains within the law and comes to life through law. The Council of State is the last stop on this road, on the beginning-finally line. The state of law, in its modern sense, brings its light to every corner, like the sun settling overhead in the middle of the day. It warms and illuminates everyone equally.

In a state of law that thrives on the principles of justice and equality, there is no fear for anyone; there is no despair; There is no despair. In this order, the public administration cannot look down on the citizens; speaks at eye level. In this order, there are no privileged, elite, outside the scope of the law; There is equality before the law. In this order, the administrator is not the master of the citizen; is his servant. What matters in this order is the nation, the consent of the nation and the satisfaction of the citizens.

Afyonkarahisar Mayor Burcu Köksal said that she was tired due to Özgür Özel’s threats and exposure to mobbing, and that she had no opportunity to do politics in CHP. In his statement to a television channel, Köksal stated that he would join the AK Party today and said, “I am very peaceful, comfortable,” and said:
I was threatened, but Özel threatened me. He can’t forget that I voted for Kılıçdaroğlu since the special congress. He brought it from my nose.
(On discussions about leaving CHP) Özel said, “I will come to power in 5-6 months. You will beg me to forgive you.” “Divorce your wife” was the mildest of his messages. My husband did not steal or corrupt. I was not seen with women in hotel rooms, my husband has never cheated on me. There is no investigation against him, why should I divorce my husband?
CHP’s name is now on the agenda with things that disturb society. I’ve been mobbed and now I’m tired.
I had a 45-minute meeting with our President. “This is not our CHP,” I said.
Tomorrow (today), Dinar Mayor Veysel Topçu will also resign from CHP and join the AK Party. 7 municipal council members will also resign.
