AK Party General Secretary and Izmir Deputy Eyyüp Kadir İnan visited Çiğli Mayor Onur Emrah Yıldız, who joined the AK Party, and made a statement to the press. Stating that the AK Party is getting stronger day by day in Izmir, İnan criticized the political leadership of New Party Chairman Özgür Özel and his attitude towards İzmir in harsh terms.
“YOU ARE DRAWING THE MOST DIFFICULT CHART OF OPPOSITION LEADERSHIP”
Arguing that CHP Chairman Özgür Özel cannot manage the political developments in his party, İnan said the following:
"I express my political opinion very clearly: You are painting the most incompetent, most visionless opposition leadership in the history of Turkish democracy. You could not maintain the unity of a hundred-year-old party. The name of the party you founded is not the 'New Party', at best it is the 'New Lies Party'. You have even messed up the artificial political balance established by your predecessors in Izmir. You cannot see the political accumulation of a century as the guarantee of your own seat."
“IT HAS BEEN SHATTERED AMONG THE GEARS OF THE WHEEL OF BRIBERY”
Inan, who targeted Özgür Özel in the harshest part of his speech, brought up the discussions within the YP and the allegations reflected in the public.
İnan continued his criticism with the following words:
"Özgür Özel has been shattered into pieces between the gears of the wheel of bribery! I repeat: Özgür Özel has been crushed and destroyed between the chains of the wheel of bribery! What is crushed in that wheel is not only your ridiculous claim to leadership, but your own political dignity. We will never allow this rotten, rotten understanding, which resets its own political reputation, to poison the future of Izmir."
“YOU COULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THOSE PHOTOS IN A THOUSAND YEARS”
İnan, who also reacted to the photographs shown by Özgür Özel at the Parliament podium, responded through the names of the New Party members.
İnan said the following to Özgür Özel:
"Mr. Özel; if there were to be a judgment based on photos in politics, you would not be able to account for those poses you took with Özkan Yalım, those photos you took with Muhittin Böcek and his friends in Antalya, the images of attaching badges to the cash machine mouse in your municipalities, and the scandals. You cannot ignore these relations within your own party, their lack of merit, and the ATM machines that enjoy the people's money and teach others a lesson."
“THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR DISRESPECT IN THE CROWD IN SELF.”
Claiming that different messages are given behind closed doors after political discussions, İnan made harsh warnings to Özgür Özel and his political companions:
"There is no excuse in solitude for the disrespect committed in the crowd, the slanders thrown, the rumors created and the executioner of dignity. Behind closed doors, in private conversations, it is not in our book to make excuses by saying 'I didn't actually mean that, I said it that way for political purposes'. I hereby clearly warn you that neither you, nor those companions you put forward for the sake of your own political prosperity and whom you used as 'mine donkeys' will ask for forgiveness from us behind closed doors tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." "Don't let him come to you. We have no business with hypocritical politicians who wave their swords in the crowd and pray for mercy in the middle of nowhere."
“IZMIR'S INTERGRET PERIOD IS OVER AS OF TODAY”
Stating that a new era of service has begun in Izmir, İnan stated that their political responsibilities increased with the mayors who joined the AK Party.
"As our ability to work increases with each new companion who joins us, the service obligation we undertake for Izmir becomes stronger. We are aware of this responsibility. We will never be like those who have neglected their responsibilities towards this city for years, and those who mock the minds of the people of Izmir, considering their votes as a given." Emphasizing that they are working to solve the problems of Izmir that have accumulated over the years, İnan said:
"Those who are responsible for Izmir should have their minds, hearts and work in this city. While this city is waiting for infrastructure, while urban transformation is waiting, while the Gulf is full of stink, we have not been and will not be among those who consider themselves worthy of a holiday in the Maldives. There are so many years that Izmir has lost with this mentality that puts Izmir's urgent needs behind its own personal calculations of political success and builds a new wall of excuses against every problem. The primary duty on our shoulders is to quickly compensate for these huge losses." "Izmir is now tearing apart the mentality that was condemned to it. I would like to remind everyone that there is no room for those who make excuses in Izmir as of today."
“WE WILL NOT CASH İZMİR'S SERVICE ACCOUNT”
Inan, who also evaluated the visit to Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay on October 12 and the absence of CHP and New Party council members from the Metropolitan Municipality Council meeting held on the same day, criticized the boycott decision with harsh words:
"On October 12, the day we visited our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay, CHP and the council members of the 'New Lies Party' they founded did not attend the Metropolitan Municipality Council, just for the sake of partisanship, due to their ideological blindness, and boycotted the meeting. This picture is the epitome of lack of vision. We will not cash out Izmir's service account just because your political account is spoiled. Boycotting the Assembly, where the nation's business will be discussed, is the biggest thing done to the voters." "It is treason."
“DO POLITICS CENTRALIZED IN IZMIR”
Addressing the municipal council members, İnan emphasized that Izmir's needs should be prioritized over intra-party political showdowns and said the following.
"We are starting a brand new era in Izmir. There will be no exclusion, no marginalization, we will embrace everyone. Therefore, I call out to all the council members elected for Izmir in the municipal councils; Please do not shape your decisions according to the bribery-centered political pickpockets established in Istanbul. Do politics centered in Izmir."
NEW INVESTMENTS IN ÇİĞLİ
Stating that a new service period will begin in the district with the participation of Çiğli Mayor Onur Emrah Yıldız in the AK Party, İnan also announced the support provided and planned for Çiğli following the contacts held in Ankara.
İnan stated that through ILBANK, grant support for road and pavement works, financing to strengthen the municipality's machinery park, environmental investments for walking and cycling paths, heavy construction machinery and hundreds of garbage containers will be provided.
Stating that resources for urban transformation, expropriation and street rehabilitation works will be put into use, İnan said that the Çiğli National Garden project will be designed by TOKİ and submitted to President Erdoğan for approval.
“OUR PRESIDENT WILL COME TO IZMIR IN NOVEMBER”
At the end of his speech, İnan announced that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would visit Izmir in November and used the following statements:
"In November, our esteemed President will honor our Izmir, this beautiful city. And on that day, our esteemed President will personally announce from here the great, historical good news that Izmir has been waiting for for years, which will affect the fate of this city. The deep love of our esteemed President and Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdogan for Izmir is known to everyone."
