Former CHP Secretary General Gürsel Tekin, who was a guest on Haberler.com studio, made striking statements. Gürsel Tekin, who resigned from the CHP last week, said he decided to resign before the general elections in 2023.
STRIKING STATEMENTS FROM GÜRSEL TEKİN ON HABERLER.COM
Tekin stated that the resignation decision at that time was related to his statements about the HDP: "If you do not object to the wrong, it is problematic for you and for the institutional identity of the party you belong to. I was right in 2014, in 2012, and during the February 28 process. I made a statement about the Kurdish issue in 2008. It is unbelievable, I was lynched.
"I WAS LYNCHED FOR SAYING HDP COULD ALSO GET A MINISTRY"
Most recently, I appeared on a broadcast in 2023. There were alliances that would be formed in the upcoming elections, there was also the 6-party table, and there were different political parties outside the 6-party table. One of them was the HDP. They asked, 'Can HDP also get a ministry?' There is a constitution in place. As long as this is our constitution, every party that has entered the election with the will of the people can govern according to this constitution. They asked again, 'Can HDP also get it?'. Of course, HDP can also get it. I was lynched for 22 days. I was lynched by my party. I was lynched by the İYİ Party and the AK Party. Except for the MHP. In other words, everyone except Bahçeli turned this issue into a political matter. Actually, I wrote my resignation letter at that time. Then many of our friends said, 'You are right.'
"ÖZEL AND İMAMOĞLU BECAME UNREACHABLE"
Now Sırrı Süreyya Önder is the deputy speaker of the parliament. There are group leaders and administrative officers. They are also the administrators of the state. Then, as a result of the pressures from our friends, they said, 'If the election is lost, you will be responsible.' I kept it inside. Even though I love Kılıçdaroğlu so much. The election ended, and the congress schedule began. I can be a mayor everywhere. I have no problem in politics. If I were concerned about position and rank, I would not object to Kılıçdaroğlu or anything. Mr. Özgür Özel, Mr. İmamoğlu. Özel was my assistant secretary general. Mr. İmamoğlu was the district president during my term. He became unreachable. I am a person who lives with my feelings.
"I RESIGNED BUT I AM ALWAYS A CHP MEMBER"
I saw that I was not on the list. I looked at the decision-makers. 80% of them are not CHP members. That day I made my decision. I said I am always a CHP member. If you do not react to an injustice or unlawfulness, it means you have lost your humanity. I resigned, but I am a CHP member; I have no doubt about that.
