After the absolute nullity decision, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who took over the CHP, went berserk on Sözcü TV when asked, "Is Erdoğan supporting you?" Kılıçdaroğlu said, "How can you ask such a question? Can you ask this to someone who has fought such a great struggle? Which journalist asks this question?"
After the court's 'absolute nullity' decision annulled the congress, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the CHP Chairmanship, practically exploded during a live broadcast on Sözcü TV. In response to a question directed at him, 'Is Erdoğan supporting you?', Kılıçdaroğlu became very angry and reacted harshly to both the question and the program moderators.
HE COULDN'T CONTROL HIS NERVES
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who became the focus of attention after the leadership change in the CHP following a court decision, made striking statements during a live broadcast on Sözcü TV. Answering journalists' questions on the program, Kılıçdaroğlu lost his temper when asked about allegations directed at him.
'CAN THIS QUESTION BE ASKED?'
During the live broadcast, when journalists asked a question along the lines of 'Is President Erdoğan supporting you, is this process benefiting him?'—a topic discussed in political circles—Kılıçdaroğlu flew into a rage. Reminding of his political struggle from past to present, the CHP leader said, 'Can this question be asked? Can this question be asked to someone who has fought such a great struggle? Which journalist asks this question? Everyone in Turkey knows how I have fought against this regime, against the one-man regime throughout my life.'
TITLE REACTION TO THE CHANNEL MANAGEMENT DURING LIVE BROADCAST
In the program where tense moments occurred, Kılıçdaroğlu reacted not only to the question but also to the attitude of Sözcü TV, where he was a guest, regarding the text (KJ) at the bottom of the screen. Emphasizing that the congress was annulled and that he is still the legal leader of the party, Kılıçdaroğlu said, 'Why don't you write 'CHP Chairman' on the screen? The congress was annulled by a court decision, and I am the chairman of the party. I came here with the title of chairman. Why don't you reflect the facts accurately?'
