In a harsh poker, the intra -party civil war is being developed in the Republican People’s Party (CHP), in view of the critical court on Monday (30/6) for a voting voting at the last party conference (in 2023), in order to be elected President.
The dock will be seated by twelve chp executives, including the prisoner of the Metropolitan Municipality of Constantinople, who declares “betrayed” by the former president of the CHP, Kemal Kilitzdaroglou.
Meanwhile, Kilitzdaroglu broke his silence and substantially said “present” to re -assume the Chp leadership, if the court annulled Ozel’s Court on Monday. His total reinstatement is displayed as a moral obligation to “at the Ataturk party, which founded the Turkish state” so that the CHP does not be “under guardian”, with the appointment of a government by the government because “the DNA of the party will be fired”.
“If I do not accept (ed. Returning to the party leadership), unknown when the administrator will convene (new) conference. Until then, who will run the party and how? ” Kilitzdaroglou, who has been chairman of the CHP for 13 years, asked rhetorically.
The ‘nails’
And while the debate has lit about the possible annulment decision of Ozel’s election on Monday -this is considered the most likely scenario -, Imamoglu for the first time has publicly “nailed” Kilitzdaroglu because he is seeking Ozel’s kissing.
“It is not possible to tolerate his statements, while so many are in prison without trial, but with immediate punishment, and their families are tortured,” the Mayor of Constantinople said.
It should be noted that for the detention of Imamoglou- on July 1, 100 days are completed- Kilitzdaroglu never took a position or protested. In addition, fully drawn up with the Erdogan government, he rejects the tactics of mass popular gatherings opted by Ozel as a reaction to the arrest of Mayor of Constantinople. Ozel organizes in the meantime a large rally in front of the city’s City Hall in Sarachchane on July 1, the day after the hearing, stating that he will not recognize the possible cancellation of his election to the presidency of the CHP.
No decision is expected
On Monday, however, the court ruling is not expected to be released, the veteran Turkish analyst Murat Yetkin, a former manager of Hurriyet, is predicted, and “this will benefit the (ruling Justice and Development Party) AKP,” he adds. Thus, the CHP, which comes first in recent polls (with 40.4%, compared to 34.6% of AKP, according to the Turkish ANKA agency) “will see the battle with itself extending.”
The government’s goal through Monday’s trial is Imamoglou, while the goal of the Chp intra -party opposition “is Ozel’s overthrow,” adds Yetkin, who is certainly seeing the “war to the end” within the CHP. “Like Kilitzdaroglu is determined to return to the post he believes he was stolen through distorted elections, even if this is done by a court order Monday or later, Ozel is equally determined to resist him.”
What if Ozel attempts to block the annulment judgment and Kilitzdaroglu requests its implementation from the Ministries of Interior and Justice? “The government can plan a new judicial conspiracy and Ozel get out of the political game, ending up in prison indefinitely, such as Imamoglu. Whatever the evolution, Kilitzdaroglu will return to the party and Erdogan will feel safe again, “replied the Source through the Chp.
“Monday’s trial is exclusively an intra -party vendetta,” commented the Turkish edition of the British newspaper Independent, Erkin Ontzan. “Both camps are claiming leadership. This situation may not lead to the division of the major opposition, but clearly disturb the political balance for the benefit of the ruler. Imamoglu is “betrayed”. Kilitzdaroglu “present”. And uniquely favored, if not the winner, Erdogan. “
