Former Provincial Chairman Berhan Şimşek, who was referred to the High Disciplinary Board by the CHP with a request for his expulsion from the party, said, "Did Kılıçdaroğlu or Berhan bring this party to the corridors of the court? Did we bring it to the nightclub tables? These events occurred due to their own incompetence and inadequacy. Those who did not fulfill their duties on this journey are the Central Headquarters. The party has been damaged. The problems in this party stem from their own incompetence. Where is the right, law, and justice? The relationships established are based on betrayal, denial, and self-interest. Unfortunately, the party has been left in the hands of children. What is being applied to me is enemy penal law," he said.
CHP REFERRED BERHAN ŞİMŞEK TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION WITH A REQUEST FOR EXPULSION CHP referred former provincial chairman Berhan Şimşek, who made a statement alongside Gürsel Tekin, appointed for the Istanbul provincial administration, to disciplinary action with a request for expulsion. Şimşek, who announced his candidacy at the 21st Extraordinary Congress but did not run, came to the CHP building in Sarıyer after the decision. Şimşek made a statement to the press here.
"DID KILIÇDAROĞLU OR BERHAN BRING THIS PARTY TO NIGHTCLUB TABLES?" Reacting to the CHP, Şimşek said: "You have no prisoners, yet you are expelling from the party. If there are those who do not fulfill their duties in this journey, it is the esteemed Central Headquarters. This process unfolded this way. The jeweler came, the calling committee came. They damaged the party. But it turned out that these things had indeed happened at the 38th congress. There were those who received money, received food cards, partied in nightclubs, and bought suits. The entirety of the statements of the congress delegates who experienced this process during the investigation is this. Now I ask from here. Did Kılıçdaroğlu or Berhan bring this party to the corridors of the court? Did we bring it to the nightclub tables?
Berhan Şimşek "THESE EVENTS OCCURRED DUE TO THEIR OWN INCOMPETENCE" These events occurred due to their own incompetence and inadequacy. They are sending Berhan Şimşek to the high disciplinary board with a precautionary expulsion decision. If a new candidate arises, according to the precautionary expulsion decision, I cannot be a candidate under Article 68B of the statute. I ask them, you say about Mr. Erdoğan that 'he puts his rivals in prison.' You have no prisoners, yet you are expelling from the party. Could such a thing be possible? Where is the right, law, and justice? Where is the idea of either all together or none of us? Where is the commitment to strengthen the internal front of the party?
"THE ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS ARE BASED ON BETRAYAL, DENIAL, AND SELF-INTEREST" Claiming that friends of Ekrem İmamoğlu are confessors to get out of prison, Şimşek said, "When Recep Tayyip Erdoğan went inside, his friends committed crimes so that we could go in and sleep with him. Ekrem's friends are also becoming confessors so that we can get out. The established relationships are based on betrayal, denial, and self-interest. When self-interest ends, denial begins. When denial ends, betrayal begins. This is my medal. This is my honor. I left my profession, my job, my power, and my life for this party. Unfortunately, the party is in the hands of children. Unfortunately, we are faced with the reality of a party that has been brought into a very serious problem," he said.
"WHAT IS BEING APPLIED TO ME IS ENEMY PENAL LAW" Şimşek, who said he was deeply saddened, stated, "If you stab me, my blood won't flow. I neither deserve this nor do the friends who want to be expelled with a precautionary measure after being listed. How will you grow this party? There is no one’s effort before you. Either all together or none of us, right? Are you mocking us? You think today's masses are following you. The youth are talking about the discontent and hopelessness in Turkey. I made my defense and sent it to them. What is being applied to me today is enemy penal law. The expulsion petition states the following: 'It has been unanimously decided to refer you to the High Disciplinary Board with a request for precautionary expulsion due to your actions that undermine party discipline.' Just 6 days before the Extraordinary Congress. This is my honor. This is enemy penal law," he said.
