Former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu made a statement on his X account regarding the arrest of Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer and the appointment of a trustee to the municipality. Kılıçdaroğlu stated, "The judiciary and the executive have fallen under the command of a single man. Our legislative body has been rendered dysfunctional. All positions requiring merit have been filled with incompetent individuals who obey unlawful orders. Oversight mechanisms have been destroyed. Transparency and accountability have been eliminated. Opposing politicians, journalists, intellectuals, students, artists, and everyone who stands against them have been intimidated through lawsuits and prison sentences. In the climate of fear created, society has been rendered passive. Immorality and corruption have become normalized and institutionalized." "WE ARE FACING A STRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY IMPERIAL POWERS"The former CHP leader continued his statement; "With the metaphor of 'foreign powers' that they never stop mentioning, they have established a mass that will remain loyal to them and a one-man regime. They appointed so-called prosecutors to key positions who would strictly adhere to their orders and carry out all kinds of unlawful actions, allowing them to disregard the will of the people. We are facing such an immoral structure. There is not just one person in front of us; there is a structure that has been taken over by imperial powers, holding all the power and acting on their orders." Kılıçdaroğlu, stating "There is no negotiation, there is struggle...", called for the sine-i millet, saying, "The only way to free ourselves from the palace and its useful apparatus is: Sine-i Millet. We do not accept any unlawfulness or the absurdity of trustees imposed on a politician elected by the people's legitimate votes." ÖZEL RESPONDS TO KILIÇDAROĞLU'S CALLResponding to CHP's 7th General President Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's call for Sine-i Millet, CHP General President Özgür Özel said, "These are very popular discussions on social media. Our MYK meeting has ended, we talked on top of the bus. I did not know that Mr. Kemal participated in those evaluations. I warned the entire opposition. Saying sine-i millet means saying I have resigned. We have 140 members of parliament who have resigned; the Constitution says 'you will hold a by-election' only for the vacant seats. We want early elections; by-elections are being held. You will not be able to enter the election. The AKP-MHP will take the deputies and exceed 400 deputies and change the constitution without going to a referendum. "DEFENDING THIS IS FALLING INTO A TRAP"Defending sine-i millet is falling into a trap. This will lead to disaster. Unfortunately, there are some friends focused on social media who contribute to the communication of the esteemed General President. They probably made such a post based on the tension on social media. Later, I saw a correction from our esteemed President to Fikret Bila, saying, 'What I meant was that they should ask for early elections with sine-i millet.' That is correct," he stated.
