During Özgür Özel's march to Anıtkabir, a young person reading the Address to the Youth from Nutuk tried to put his leg on the railing in front of him. However, Özgür Özel intervened and removed the young person's leg from the railing.

Addressing party members at a greetings ceremony held in Ankara's Güvenpark, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel called on the crowd to "march to Anıtkabir" after his speech. In response to this call, numerous party members and officials began a collective march towards Anıtkabir.

"COULDN'T YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IT BY HEART?"

Comments flooded the rapidly trending footage, with remarks such as: "Even the Hababam Class recited it by heart. Who is this staff?", "Can't even recite from memory, look at this youth", "Couldn't you find someone who knows it by heart?", "Özgür Özel would let him cross his legs and recite it", "Shameless little brother-in-law", and "Disgraceful."
