The call for a red card by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel continues to be a topic of discussion. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made notable statements regarding Özel's call in Adana. Reminding that he has a 20-year football career, Erdoğan said, "I have never received a red card in my life. This nation has never shown a red card to the AK Party until today. But these people couldn't escape the red card either."

The call for a red card by CHP leader Özgür Özel continues to be a hot topic in the political agenda.

Before addressing the public at his party's Adana Provincial Congress, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke about Özel's call for a red card.

"THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING"

President Erdoğan stated, "Some are trying to show a red card. It is unclear what they are doing." He added, "It is clear who is showing the red card. They probably have not been able to act as the central referee until now. They will at most perform the role of assistant referees. We will hand them a red card each and continue on our way."

"THIS NATION HAS NOT SHOWN A RED CARD TO THE AK PARTY"

Recalling that he never received a red card in his 20-year football career, President Erdoğan said, "But they do not understand this job; they will learn. Which card is shown where and how? We have been handling this for 22 years. This nation has not shown a red card to the AK Party until now. But they, on the other hand, could not escape from the red card. Their lives have always been like this."
