The Republican People’s Party was virtually divided into two before the absolute nullity case on July 1. The statement published by former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on his social media account, in which he criticized the current administration by saying “CHP cannot be a shelter for haram”, brought about a new debate within the party.

“THE TRUST CANNOT BE CONTAMINATED, THE TRUST CANNOT BE STOLE”

In his message, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said, “My friends, the founder of the Republican People’s Party is the spirit of the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, on whom the will of independence of our nation is manifested. There is no betrayal of the spirit. The Republican People’s Party is not a legacy left to us. Our party is a sacred trust to us. The trust cannot be defiled. The trust cannot be defamed.

My brothers, the shadow of this great plane tree can never be a shelter for haram and pollution. He knows how to purify when necessary and how to do his inner self-examination. But he never turns away from his path. Because this march is a march of power. Because this march is a march to restore the people’s hope,” he said.

SUPPORT TO KILIÇDAROGLU FROM 22 MPs

Following Kılıçdaroğlu’s statements, 22 MPs, including the heavyweights of the party, clearly showed their side by supporting the former chairman. 22 CHP MPs republished Kılıçdaroğlu’s post and raised a flag of rebellion against Özgür Özel before the absolute nullity trial on July 1.

Those names who supported Kılıçdaroğlu are as follows:

CHP Ankara Deputy Deniz Demir, CHP Ankara Deputy Semra Dinçer, CHP Aydın Deputy Hüseyin Yıldız, CHP Bursa Deputy Orhan Sarıbal, CHP Denizli Deputy Gülizar Biçer Karaca, CHP Tunceli Deputy Gürsel Erol, CHP Gaziantep Deputy Hasan Öztürkmen, CHP Istanbul Deputy Erdoğan Toprak, CHP Istanbul Deputy Gamze Akkuş İlgezdi, CHP Istanbul Deputy İlhan Kesici, CHP İzmir Deputy Mahir Polat, CHP İzmir Deputy Rahmi Aşkın Türeli, CHP İzmir Deputy Rıfat Turuntay Nalbantoğlu, CHP İzmir Deputy Sevda Erdan Kılıç, CHP Kahramanmaraş Deputy Ali Öztunç, CHP Kars Deputy İnan Akgün Alp, CHP Konya Deputy Barış Bektaş, CHP Uşak Deputy Ali Karaoba, CHP Tokat Deputy Kadim Durmaz, CHP Tekirdağ Deputy Faik Öztrak, CHP Kütahya Deputy Ali Fazıl Kasap, CHP Ordu Deputy Mustafa Adıgüzel

“STAND UP” CALL TO THE BASE OF THE PARTY

On the other hand, the crisis in the CHP was not limited to the support of the MPs. CHP former Party Council member Ali Haydar Fırat called out to the party base in his statement on his social media account.

Aksoy stated that Cemil Tugay did not fulfill his promise of water discounts before the election and argued that the regulation was not in favor of the citizens but to increase the municipality’s revenues.

ADDITIONAL LOAD OF 2 BILLION LIRAS

“The promises made to the people of Izmir were not kept, on the contrary, an additional burden of approximately 2 billion lira was left on the shoulders of the citizens with the ‘discount’ discourse,” said Aksoy, adding that the municipality’s practice does not reflect the truth.

“WE DEFENDED THE RIGHTS OF OUR CITIZENS”

Reminding that they had previously criticized citizens for charging a higher tariff if the water consumption limit was slightly exceeded, Aksoy stated that with the new regulation in the Municipal Council, the discount right of subscribers who exceed the limit has been completely eliminated. Aksoy said, “While we, through our esteemed council members, defend the rights of our citizens who pay a higher price just for consuming an extra glass of water, now the right to a discount has been completely destroyed with this regulation.”

THIS IS CALLED DISTORTING THE TRUTH

Aksoy, who included remarkable analogies in his statement, criticized the regulation with the following words: “This is called distorting the truth. This is called pointing to the right and hitting left. This is called running water through a straw. This is called pretending to give with a spoon and taking it with a ladle.”

“THE TRUTH HAVE A HABIT OF REVEALED”

Emphasizing that the perception intended to be created in the public will not change the reality, Aksoy said, “The perceptions that are tried to be created through manipulation are not real. Because the truth has a habit of coming out sooner or later.”

“WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF IZMIR PEOPLE”

AK Party İzmir Deputy Şebnem Bursalı Aksoy stated that the citizens of Izmir expect the promises made to be kept and public services to be carried out in a transparent, fair and equitable manner, and that they will continue to defend the rights of the people of Izmir.
