CHP officials applied to the Constitutional Court for the suspension and annulment of the 11th Judicial Package. CHP Group Deputy Chairman Gökhan Günaydın stated, "Laws need to be structured in an objective manner that is not dependent on individuals. We are clearly faced with a regulation where the investigation phase and the court president and panel have been bypassed in the prosecution phase."
CHP officials filed a petition to the Constitutional Court (AYM) for the suspension and annulment of the 11th Judicial Package. CHP Group Deputy Chairman Gökhan Günaydın made statements to the press at Ahlatlıbel Atatürk Park after their application to the AYM on behalf of his party.
"LAWS MUST BE REGULATED WITHOUT BEING PERSONALIZED"
Explaining the reasons for the application, Günaydın said, "Undoubtedly, laws must be regulated with an objectivity that is not personalized. However, while other types of insult crimes are included in the prepayment scope, only the insult crime against public officials due to their duties is not included in the prepayment scope. Now, I mentioned a legal term here. So, what is the intended purpose? You know; Mr. Ekrem İmamoğlu's actually mutual phrase with Süleyman Soylu was disguised as an insult due to his duty towards the members of the Supreme Election Council, and he was penalized. Here, they are only pushing this crime outside the limits of prepayment. Where is the objectivity of legal regulations and their non-personalization? It can be positively personalized or negatively personalized. Here, we see this very clearly," he said.
"INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION STAGE IS BYPASSED"
Günaydın stated, "In the procedures regarding the suspension of accounts and seizure measures where benefits obtained through the commission of cyber crimes exist, it is not the public prosecutors or courts, but the bank payment service providers or cryptocurrency service providers that are authorized. We are faced with a regulation where the investigation stage and the court president and panel are bypassed in the prosecution stage," he said.
CLAIM OF "VIOLATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY"
Günaydın noted that all uncollected general health insurance premiums and accessory receivables such as late fees and late interest prior to January 1, 2016, have been waived, but the non-refund of collected receivables is contrary to the principle of equality. Günaydın stated, "In lawsuits opened for the exercise of the right of pre-emption, determining the value of the subject matter of the lawsuit based on the market value instead of the title deed value and applying this change to existing lawsuits against the principle of legal reliability is considered both contrary to the public interest and to the law, and for this reason, we are bringing it to the Constitutional Court," he explained.
