CHP Şanlıurfa Deputy Mahmut Tanal wanted to help a female police officer carrying a heavy load in front of the Istanbul Provincial Headquarters, which was under police blockade. After his offer of assistance was rejected, Tanal reacted to the male police officers nearby, saying, "It's a shame, help our colleague."
The crisis that began with the removal of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Administration and the appointment of Gürsel Tekin as a trustee is escalating. Following the support vigil initiated by the CHP Youth Branch, the Istanbul Governorship declared a three-day ban on protests. While the provincial building was placed under police blockade, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel called on party members to "take care of the ancestral home."
PARTY MEMBERS FLOODED TO THE BUILDING
After Özel's call, members of parliament and hundreds of party members gathered in front of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters. The tension in the area where the barricades were breached did not ease for a moment.
NOTABLE DIALOGUE
In the tense atmosphere, a notable dialogue occurred between CHP Şanlıurfa Deputy Mahmut Tanal and a female police officer on duty. Tanal's offer to help the female officer, who was carrying a heavy load and struggling to move forward, was declined by the police. The police officer, who continued to walk with difficulty, carried the bag alone.
"IT'S A SHAME, HELP OUR FRIEND"
Reacting to the situation, Tanal turned to the male police officers nearby and said, "Why are you making the female officer carry such a heavy load? All the men are just watching, it's a shame… Help our friend."
