political developments
Recent developments in politics have caused the normalization process, which started with the visits between President Erdoğan and CHP leader Özgür Özel, to come to a controversial point. The issue of nepotism, especially in municipalities, has become an important agenda item in the political arena.
Criticism from AK Party Deputy Chairman
AK Party Deputy Chairman Hamza Dağ harshly criticized CHP leader Özgür Özel’s attitude towards the appointment of relatives in municipalities. Claiming that appointments of relatives continue in Özel’s municipalities, Dağ said, “CHP municipalities have become the center of appointments of friends and relatives. Currently, almost all of them continue to serve.”
Statements of Özgür Özel:CHP leader Özgür Özel stated that they are determined about the appointment of relatives in municipalities and said, “Let me tell you about the current situation. There is not one such appointment. As the Chairman of the Republican People’s Party, I said that I am “Very determined on this issue. Our management approach is exactly like this.”
Criticism of Hamza Dağ:Dağ criticized Özgür Özel’s attitude and said, “CHP mayors are trying to deceive Mr. Özgür Özel, and Özgür Özel is trying to deceive the citizens. But the facts are clear as day.”
