Özgür Özel's "hall man" statement: Erdoğan had those he appointed applaud for him and threw shade at us.

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel made harsh statements against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his party's group meeting.

"TURNED NATURAL GAS INTO ELECTION BRIBERY"

Özel stated, "During the election period, he spoke with Putin and postponed the total natural gas bill for a year, giving everyone 25 cubic meters of free natural gas. We said, don't give it to those who can afford it, give it to those in need. They gave it as election bribery, so why is it not available now? Is winter milder, has purchasing power increased? He turned natural gas into election bribery, and now Özgür Bey says he doesn't know. The natural gas of 1 million 7 thousand households has been cut off due to debt. The 5 thousand TL in Kars cannot be paid with the same minimum wage as the 2 thousand TL in Manisa."

"TRIED TO BOOST MORALE BY HAVING HIS APPOINTED ONES APPLAUD HIM"

Özel, who described President Erdoğan as a "hall man," said, "Erdoğan, who tries to boost morale by having his appointed ones applaud him, kept throwing jabs at us. I am satisfied with all of them. He said, 'The CHP is against the Amasya-Çorum-Kırıkkale high-speed train project.' That's a blatant lie."

"TWO-THIRDS OF SGK DEBTS BELONG TO YOUR MUNICIPALITIES"

Responding to Erdoğan's remarks, "Recently, he is calculating in gold; he should also calculate his debts to SGK in gold," Özgür Özel used the following statements.

"The person from the warm halls says, 'They are calculating in gold; Özgür Bey loves it very much. While he is wandering from jeweler to jeweler with a calculator in hand, let him also calculate how many quarters the debts of CHP municipalities to SGK amount to.' Since he wanted it, I did it. The debt of municipalities to SGK is 10 units, while the debt of other companies is 90 units. Next month, he plans to forgive the interest for companies and divide the principal. Until that day, he wants to collect the money from the municipalities. He says to shake them down. He is doing this to stop the services of CHP municipalities. He will take this money from us, and when it comes to his affiliated companies, he will forgive the interest and divide the principal. We calculated the total receivable of SGK. The total receivable of SGK is 270 tons of gold. 30 tons from municipalities, 240 tons from affiliated companies that Erdoğan should have announced every six months but did not. The total debt of CHP to AKP, MHP, İYİ Party, and DEM is a truckload of gold. Mr. Erdoğan, one-third of a truck is the debt made by the opposition, and two-thirds is the debt made by your municipalities. Pull nine trucks in front of SGK; whoever does not give the rest is a coward, I dare you!"
