A circulated image related to CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who attended the funeral ceremony of Turkish cinema's legendary figure Kadir İnanır at Istanbul Ulus Cemetery, caused a stir. In the images, Kılıçdaroğlu was seen being booed by the crowd at the funeral site. However, the CHP claimed in successive statements that the images were manipulated and that Kılıçdaroğlu was not booed.
The images of former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who attended the funeral of Turkish cinema master Kadir İnanır, being booed by the crowd sparked controversy. In consecutive statements from the CHP wing, it was stated that the videos in question were edited and that claims of Kılıçdaroğlu being booed were completely baseless.
"A PRODUCT OF A CONSPIRACY"
Deniz Demir, the Deputy Chairman of the Republican People's Party responsible for Media and Public Relations, said in a statement: "While the lower video among those I shared reflects the truth, the upper video is a product of a conspiracy, not unfamiliar to these lands. Those who produce and serve this digital fraud should not forget that we are aware of this dark method that tries to distort the truth through fictional montages. We will not allow this lie and fraud to pass."
PLACEMENT OF WREATHS DREW ATTENTION
Meanwhile, according to journalist Birsen Altuntaş's report, the wreath sent on behalf of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the CHP chairmanship with a final nullity decision, remained at the door of the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage. In contrast, it was seen that the wreaths sent on behalf of Özgür Özel and the detained Ekrem İmamoğlu were placed in the stage area.
This detail, allegedly experienced during the ceremony, quickly sparked widespread reaction on social media. However, no statement has been made so far from the organization officials or relevant parties regarding the placement of the said wreaths.
