NEW Party Chairman Özgür Özel spoke at the Provincial Chairmanship election in Kırıkkale, where he came after his party's Yozgat Provincial Chairmanship election.
In his speech here, Özel once again touched upon the huge 'fund' profiteering that was exposed in the capital markets.
Özel said, "Dear friends, yes, it is important that an ambassador, a Chief Advisor to the President, a member of the Advisory Board, a Wealth Fund manager have been appointed. But under all of these funds, those who are detained inside, those who are not detained outside, those who are named, those who are hidden, all have Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's signature. Today, I saw it on the headline of the Karar newspaper. Two signatures over 200 liras, 50. The signatures on the lira belong to people who were appointed by Erdoğan and were caught red-handed in the fund fraud. From time to time, when we were in the Republican People's Party, we used to make harmonious, rhyming sentences. Maybe he will remember. Now, I am telling him that Mr. Erdoğan is from the AK Party. "Those who were robbed are from the AK Party. We are not involved in this, you are all there," he said.
"YOU WERE ALL THERE TOGETHER"
Özgür Özel continued his words as follows:
"In the past, when money was found in the bedrooms and shoeboxes of ministers, they first said 'FETO members put it' and then asked for it back with interest. They are the ones who always put the blame on someone else and exonerate themselves when something happens to them. He is trying to do this the other day. He says 'External forces are sabotaging this fund issue'. I ask Mr. Erdoğan from here. Did external forces appoint those AK Party members to the management of the fund companies? Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya's 2.2 Did external forces teach the MP who came up with the slogan of 'Turkey's Century' to plan the robbery of the century? Did foreign forces send the party's spokesman, Ömer Çelik, to a holiday in Bodrum? Did the prosecutors and judges confiscate the property of Hayati Bey, and did the foreign powers lift the order on his property? you were together.”
Stating that Erdoğan said, "There was a problem with 4.6 percent of the total number of funds. Do not make it a big deal," Özel said, "The work he tried to minimize caused great damage to the country from the earthquake. 110 billion dollars of the nation is gone, he is still mocking the nation instead of being held accountable."
"YOU ARE NOT ON THE SAME SIDE WITH THEM"
Addressing the AKP voters who were victimized in the attack, Özel said, "I am calling out to the victims who are members of the AK Party and who lost their money in this fund and cannot make their voices heard by anyone. He says, 'We have 12 million members.' When did they come and ask you something? When did they put members like us at the center of the matter? Those who are members of the AK Party but are privileged when getting votes are at the very top. Those who are members of the AK Party, but like those at the top, have one hand in power, those who appoint whomever they want, wherever they want, While there are people wandering around on yachts, floors, and boats, I say to those who are suffering from poverty with their 23 thousand lira pension during the election period, who cannot pay their debts to the bank, who cannot live on the salary they receive, but who have been members of the AK Party because someone recorded it in their pocket, you are not on the same side with them, you are on the same side with us. If you come to us, we will change this government and make you smile, too.
