Esenyurt trustee was dismissed... Ahmet Özer: 'What is needed is not a new trustee...'

Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer made a statement on his social media account after the dismissal of Deputy Governor Can Aksoy, who was appointed as trustee in his place.

Stating that the solution in Esenyurt is "not to replace one trustee with another trustee, but to make the will of the people dominant again", Ahmet Özer said, "Removing the trustee from office and appointing a new trustee after the allegations of corruption that emerged during the trustee administration does not solve the main problem of Esenyurt. On the contrary, it covers up the real problem. What Esenyurt needs is not a new trustee, but the reinstatement of the elected mayor. It is the necessity of the national will manifested in the ballot box." "Complying with this is an indispensable condition of democracy and the state of law," he said.

"THE TRUSTEE MANAGEMENT'S CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED"

Ahmet Özer stated that his return to duty as the mayor elected by the votes of the people of Esenyurt is not only an expectation for himself, but also for the people of Esenyurt, whose will is ignored, and said:

"Moreover, while the corruption investigation regarding the administration period of the dismissed trustee Can Aksoy is being discussed in public, dismissing him without being held accountable and appointing another trustee in his place does not eliminate the issue of responsibility. Dismissing without being held accountable is not a sanction, but a reward in the eyes of the public. The allegations must be investigated transparently and all those responsible must be held accountable before the law. Appointing another trustee in place of a trustee does not bring back the lost time of Esenyurt; it does not close the democracy gap, nor does it represent the will of the people. This This understanding will result in nothing other than Esenyurt losing more time and services. The solution is clear: The democratic will of the people of Esenyurt should be respected, and I should be reinstated to my duty as the elected mayor.

The people of Esenyurt want to see their own elected president in office. Democracy requires supporting the will revealed at the ballot box not only on election day, but under all circumstances. Our demand is not for privilege, but for the fulfillment of the requirements of democracy. "The will of Esenyurt should be manifested through the government elected by the people, not the trustees."
