The wife of the detained Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) President Ekrem İmamoğlu, Dilek Kaya İmamoğlu, stated in her speech at the Saraçhane rally, "Today, it is the retirees who have seen the face of meat thanks to the city restaurant that has been taken into custody." Dilek İmamoğlu's statement has also sparked a new debate.
The crowd gathered in Saraçhane last night to protest the detention of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu.
"THE RETIRED WHO SAW MEAT IS IN CUSTODY"
Dilek İmamoğlu, the wife of İmamoğlu, stated in her speech here, "The only person in custody since this morning is not just Ekrem İmamoğlu. The will of 16 million Istanbulites is in custody. The retired who saw meat thanks to the City Restaurant is in custody. Young people who can stay in the country and study are in custody. Young mothers who can use free transportation are in custody. Today, what is in custody is the rule of law, democracy; it is justice."
"AS IF THEY ARE GIVING ALMS"
Dilek İmamoğlu's speech, which was frequently interrupted by slogans, included the phrase "Today, those who are detained are the retirees who saw meat thanks to the city restaurant," which resonated widely on social media. While some supported Dilek İmamoğlu's words, others criticized them by saying, "As if they are giving alms."
Some of the comments made are as follows:
- They made a big mistake by taking Ekrem; I think they are thinking deeply, the country has risen and will not sit down again.
- As if they are giving alms, just look at the speech.
- This one is imitating Başak Demirtaş.
- What kind of style is this?
- This has been a very wrong statement.
- I wish you had spoken your true feelings instead of reading.
- Did you give alms? What kind of style is this?
