CHP Chairman Özgür Özel visited the Rize flood damage and attended the Reşit Kibar hearing in Artvin

NEW Party Chairman Özgür Özel yesterday first visited Pazar district in Rize, which was damaged by the flood on September 19. Afterwards, Özel went to Artvin and attended the hearing of Reşit Kibar, who was killed while fighting for the environment in Borçk, at the Artvin Courthouse. Addressing the people of Artvin at the National Will Square, Özel emphasized the funding crisis and said:

"As if the crises we were experiencing were not enough, now there was a fund crisis. In other words, they collapsed on the money that the citizens entrusted to the state. People who could not pay their credit cards and had difficulty paying their rent trusted and believed in them and put their tiny savings into the stock market, thinking that they could make quick money in the stock market. Then, those who earned a thousand to one in the closed period between 2021 and 2025 opened it; they came and put their money there, saying 'Sir, such and such an AK Party executive was there' and they did not "They left those expensive funds and shares in their hands to the citizens without mercy, they were warned in advance, they did nothing to protect the citizens."

Harsh reaction to the images

Reacting to the operation against Mersin Metropolitan Municipality, Özel continued as follows: "They carried out an operation against Mersin Metropolitan Municipality and Yenişehir and Mezitli municipalities. So that this fund profiteering would not be talked about. They came and knocked on the door with the police. One of our Mayor's wives opened the door in a hurry. She was wearing her nightgown. She saw the male police officers and the camera in front of her. She said, 'Can you turn off the camera?' The police said, 'Don't worry, this is a police camera.' "Two hours after this image was taken, they sent the lady's image to all websites. On the one hand, you will launch a 'My Family is Safe' campaign, you will carry out operations in your own way with the slogan 'My Family is Safe', as if you will protect the family. May God protect the family from you, may God protect this country from you."

Özel said, "From now on, if that charlatan sends images of a woman, a private life image, to the press, we, as MPs, will raid that charlatan, that Ministry. I am saying this much. That charlatan knows himself. I will tear out the mouth of that immoral charlatan with my hand if necessary, who was caught in Istanbul during the drug operation, was included in the first statements, then his name was removed, and then came to the Minister from Istanbul when he was coming to Ankara."

'As much destruction as on February 6'

Regarding the funding crisis, Özel said, "The approximate cost of this robbery is 90 billion dollars. As you know, there was a major earthquake on February 6, 2023. It was called the 'disaster of the century'. The cost of the disaster of the century is 100 billion dollars in state figures. The cost of the robbery of the century is 90 billion dollars. In other words, the owners of this black order stole and had others steal almost all of the destruction that occurred in one of the biggest earthquakes in history in 11 cities."

Gave 'approval' to 13 irregular tenders

It was stated that Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Vahap Seçer, who was detained in the 'corruption' operation carried out against Mersin Metropolitan Municipality and 2 central district municipalities, had his 'consent' signature on 13 irregular tenders and direct procurement transactions amounting to 41 million 419 thousand TL.

CHP Spokesperson SARI: AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPENED

CHP also reacted to the images in question. In his post on social media, CHP Spokesperson Müslim Sarı said, "It is unacceptable to film a woman in her pajamas in her own home in the early hours of the morning, to continue recording despite her asking 'Would you please turn it off?', and then to bring these images to the public. An investigation should be launched immediately against those responsible." ● ANKARA Nationality
