Will the New Party be closed? All eyes are on the Constitutional Court

The Supreme Court has included the application regarding the name of the New Party on the agenda of tomorrow's General Assembly.

At the General Assembly meeting, the Constitutional Court is expected to discuss and decide whether the name "New Party" is contrary to the Political Parties Law No. 2820 and the request to "decide the invalidity of the name and nickname of the party and its deletion from the registry of political parties".

THE NEW PARTY WAS GIVEN ONE MONTH TO DEFEND

Following the establishment of the New Party, the Innovation Party applied to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court of Appeals due to the similarity of party names, and the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office notified the New Party for a name change due to "confusion" and gave time until September 18. Since the name change was not made, the file was sent to the Constitutional Court by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Supreme Court discussed the file on the agenda of the General Assembly on September 29 and gave the party one month to present its defense. The New Party also prepared its defense within the said period and sent it to the Constitutional Court.
