CHP General Chairman Özgür Özel made statements during a live broadcast regarding the investigations initiated for CHP municipalities. Özel stated that they are aware of the instruction given to ministries to "Go find crimes in the municipalities, and if you can't find any, make something up," and said, "We have not avoided any inspections, and we will not. If there is a crime, reveal it; do not invent crimes." "WE KNOW THAT INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN TO MINISTRIES"Highlights from Özel's statements are as follows: "Those who included municipalities that do not even have the right to vote in TBB elections are now trying to immediately receive payments that have not been made for years from the İller Bankası. They are asking us for the SGK premiums of AK Party municipalities. This is not fair. They are hoping for these and trying to discredit CHP municipalities. Mr. Tayyip could not create the perception he wanted. Mr. Tayyip says, 'You said this CHP cannot do this job, yet they are still working.' We know that instructions were given to the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Labor to 'Go find a crime in CHP municipalities, and if you can't find one, invent a crime.' Bureaucrats are also being mobilized. "THEIR AIM IS TO COLLECT AK PARTY'S DEBTS WITH INTEREST"They are creating an agenda with controversies; their aim is to collect AK Party's debts with interest. The discussions about concerts and SGK debts reveal the true target of those who prioritize their own interests over the public's. As long as they can create the perception that these municipalities cannot get any work done. We are facing such a cheap and simple calculation. "THEY USED TO SHOW OUR MUNICIPALITIES AS EXAMPLES TO THEIR OWN"Our municipalities are not those that avoid accountability. I remind you once again that Mr. Tayyip used to show CHP municipalities as examples to his own municipalities. The public has made a decision; accept it. The people have shown Erdoğan how we understand municipal management. All of Turkey is talking about city restaurants. I address those who have never sent inspectors to AK Party municipalities. There are 8 major corruption files waiting in Manisa. The Mayor of Manisa connected to his own vast lands and obtained over 300 additional apartments for himself. WHAT HAPPENED?Investigations were initiated for municipalities due to allegations that the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) made improper expenditures for concert expenses and caused public damage in some events related to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB). Following this, the Beykoz Chief Public Prosecutor's Office also launched an investigation into the CHP Beykoz Municipality after allegations of "3 concerts organized at a cost of 20 million lira."
