After the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu in the corruption investigation, a new statement has come from CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who drew reactions with his call for a boycott. Özel called on all citizens to participate in the consumption boycott to be held tomorrow.
ÖZEL MADE A BOYCOTT CALL ONCE AGAIN
In a statement he made on his social media account, Özel noted: "301 university students, who stood at the forefront against the March 19 Coup and took ownership of their futures, have been unlawfully arrested and are spending the holiday away from their families.
I wholeheartedly support the consumption boycott initiated by the youth against this oppression inflicted on students, mothers, fathers, and siblings. I invite everyone to join this boycott and use their power from consumption. The nation is the true owner of the state. A handful of coup plotters who confront the nation will lose, and the nation will win."
AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK RESPONDS TO ÖZEL
AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik reacted to Özel's call for a boycott. In his statement, Çelik said: "The point reached by CHP Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel is not a political opposition, but a total threat to Turkey. Özgür Özel is targeting social and economic life by taking all the dynamics of the CHP hostage to maintain his chairmanship in the congress. Özgür Özel's incompetent political performance has been recorded as the greatest 'political fanaticism' and 'social divisiveness' in our political history.
"ALL HIS POLITICAL DISCOURSE IS ABOUT SOCIAL DIVISIVENESS"
It has become clear that Özgür Özel has no opposition ability other than trying to divide social life. He has rendered the CHP incapable of even doing opposition, let alone dreaming of virtual power. All his political discourse consists of political fanaticism, threats, targeting national companies, 'profiling' our citizens, and social divisiveness. The activities Özgür Özel conducts to harm Turkey's gains will only harm himself. Our citizens will boycott this fake politics and aggressive politicians."
ÖZEL HAD PREVIOUSLY NAMED COMPANIES ONE BY ONE
On the other hand, Özel, who previously threatened media organizations that did not broadcast the protests in Saraçhane with a boycott, this time made a call for a boycott by naming companies one by one.
Özel's boycott list, which stated "You see those who see Saraçhane, bury those who do not see it," is as follows:
- "I love Turkish coffee, I love filter coffee, I love all kinds, I recommend you drink whichever you like, but do not drink it from EspressoLab. From now on, we will not visit Espressolab, we will not drink their coffees!"
- When buying books, you do not stop by D&R. I say, you see those who see Saraçhane, bury those who do not see it! There is something called Idefix, do you know, it no longer exists! D&R is gone, Idefix is gone... Do you know there is Demirören AVM on İstiklal? Cross the street from the opposite side...
- There was something called Kilim Mobilya, they were making money from you, they were reporting to the palace. Whoever is stepping on that carpet, let them take care of it. Do not let Kilim Mobilya into your home.
- Young people are saying 'Ülker, Ülker, Ülker.' This is also the demand of the youth.
- If you are going to buy gasoline, there are plenty of gas stations, but there is no longer Turkish Petroleum! If you are going to buy gas, all can be bought from Milengaz, Likitgaz, none of them are good for us.
- Do not look at TRT
- Do not warm up with İhlas Home Appliances of TGRT anymore.
- Stay away from Milli Piyango, Misli.com, iddaa.com…
- There is a Tourism Minister who does not conduct inspections while the hotel is burning in Kartalkaya, comes out and slanders others, and still has not resigned, the one that Erdoğan cannot remove... The holiday is coming, airplane tickets, bus tickets, do not buy from ETS! Until you bury ETS, we will have no peace!"
