CHP, which emerged as the first party with 37.7% in the local elections on March 31, has shaken up the political scene. The moves of CHP leader Özgür Özel, who signed successive "normalization" talks with President Erdoğan, have greatly disturbed MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli, who is a partner in the People's Alliance. "BAHÇELİ SAYS 'YOU ARE EITHER MINE OR THE BLACK SOIL'"In an important interview with T24's Cansu Çamlıbel, CHP leader Özgür Özel stated that MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli acted as if he were using the expression "You are either mine or the black soil" towards President Erdoğan. "ERDOĞAN RETURNED TO HIS POSITION BEFORE MARCH 31"Özel stated that after Bahçeli's "normalization" ultimatum, President Erdoğan returned to his position before the local elections on March 31, and said, "If I say to Erdoğan, 'Don't worry about Bahçeli. I will support you in the Parliament, I will support you in the economic package, I am behind you,'... In other words, if I propose a change of partner to Erdoğan, I will break up the People's Alliance." "I WILL NOT BE A PARTNER IN THE 22-YEAR MISTAKES OF AK PARTY"But this would burden me with the responsibility of supporting the mistakes and responsibilities of the AK Party for 22 years, which I have no intention of carrying. I am going to the government. My party has become the first party. Our votes have been increasing every month since the election. There is a major economic crisis. Erdoğan is not keeping his promises regarding earthquake victims or inflation," he said.
