Support from Yüksel Işık to journalists: Let's be side by side

Politicians supported the "No Censorship, Freedom of News" march to be held in ten provinces on Saturday. Yüksel Işık, who served as Ankara Provincial Deputy Chairman during the establishment of the NEW Party, said, "Let's be side by side with journalists who defend the public's right to receive news."

Işık, who called on us to stand shoulder to shoulder with the journalists who will meet at Ankara College on October 24, is as follows:

"In this country, organizations bearing the name of newspapers and TV have long turned into the bulletins of the government. They do not conduct journalism, but the public relations of the government. Journalists who defend the people's right to receive information are censored, oppressed, detained and arrested for writing the truth."

What we need is to build a libertarian, democratic and secular system against this disorganized order. In that system, journalists will continue their activities as the 4th force alongside the legislature, judiciary and executive, and will not be punished for expressing the truth; On the contrary, they will be written in golden letters in our history of democracy.

It is a duty of democracy to stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, until that beautiful day comes. When that day comes, both journalists and anyone who expresses their opinions will not be pressured. In this context, journalists are taking to the streets in 10 provinces, including Ankara, on Saturday, October 24 (that is, tomorrow).

Their demands are loud and clear: “No to Censorship, Freedom to News”

I invite all Ankara residents to march, including the journalists who will meet at the College at 14:00 in Ankara and walk to Sakarya Street. Come; Let's stand side by side with journalists who defend the public's right to receive information. Let's carry Turkey to a bright future together.”
