The leader of the CHP, Özgür Özel, received positive responses in succession from the People's Alliance regarding the call for the trials in which Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is also being tried to be broadcast live.
ERDOĞAN: THE REQUEST FOR BROADCASTING THE TRIAL IS NICE
The leader of the MHP, Devlet Bahçeli, stated, "We hope and wish that this expectation is evaluated as reasonable and legitimate, and that the black sheep is exposed in the court of public conscience. The Turkish nation should see the truths. They should know the realities." Meanwhile, President Erdoğan said, "The request for the trial to be broadcast is nice. Bahçeli's statement is a commendable one, and it will be beneficial."
NEW OFFER FROM ÖZEL
Following the statements of Bahçeli and Erdoğan, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel raised the stakes. Speaking at the Sancaktepe rally, Özel requested that the trials be broadcast live on other television channels as well.
"FREQUENCIES SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ALL TELEVISION CHANNELS WANTING TO BROADCAST LIVE"
Özel stated: "Mr. Bahçeli said that they also accepted the prolongation of the trial's live broadcast. Then, we challenge them; we submitted our bill on May 9. TRT should broadcast the trial from start to finish without any omissions, just as the prosecutor is presenting it, the defense should also be broadcast live from the mouths of our friends. We want frequencies to be given to all television channels wanting to broadcast live, so that it can be broadcast completely and accurately. I trust my friends."
