When Gürsel Tekin was appointed as the chairman of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Organization, Canan Kaftancıoğlu did not go to the building. While Kaftancıoğlu made a call for common sense on social media, she reacted strongly to the claim made by FETÖ fugitive Tarık Toros that he was "silent because he was threatened." Kaftancıoğlu responded with the words "FETÖ scumbag" and "Get lost, send your big brother."
After the controversial party congress lawsuits in the CHP, the appointment of Gürsel Tekin as the Istanbul Provincial Chairman has brought new discussions. Canan Kaftancıoğlu, who did not go to the Provincial Chairmanship, called on party members to exercise common sense through a statement on social media, while she reacted very harshly to the words of FETÖ fugitive Tarık Toros.
TEKİN STARTED HIS DUTY, KAFTANCIOĞLU DID NOT ATTEND
Following the allegations that money was given to delegates by court order, Gürsel Tekin was appointed as the CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman. Tekin had announced for days that he would go to the provincial chairmanship on September 8. According to allegations, Canan Kaftancıoğlu was also supposed to be there that day. However, when Tekin went to the building yesterday, it was seen that Kaftancıoğlu did not come.
CALL FOR COMMON SENSE
After the allegations that emerged, Kaftancıoğlu made a statement on her social media account X. Calling on party members to remain calm, Kaftancıoğlu used the following expressions: "I see that any words I say during this period will not contribute positively, and will only serve to increase intra-party polarization and provide material for trolls. Given this situation, let’s not harm ourselves by speaking out, except for authorized and responsible individuals; perhaps we can be beneficial by remaining silent, and I invite all my party brothers to exercise common sense."
ALLEGATIONS OF FETÖ FUGITIVE TARIK TOROS
Fugitive FETÖ journalist Tarık Toros claimed in a social media broadcast that Kaftancıoğlu is being threatened with the lawsuits against her due to her leaving Gürsel Tekin alone.
KAFTANCIOĞLU RESPONDED HARSHLY
Responding very harshly to these words, Kaftancıoğlu quoted Toros's video and said, "I apologize in advance for what I am about to say… You FETÖ scumbag! Since last night, you have all started in unison, both from inside and outside. I can understand criticism, but I still don’t understand what’s wrong with you. I will not be like you. I will neither be a collaborator nor will I remain silent out of fear of threats. Now go away, if you have an older brother, send him!"
