Breaking News: Tanju Özcan’s Next Move Revealed on Flash News on CNN TÜRK
Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan, who recently led a ‘change’ march from Bolu to the CHP Headquarters in Ankara, has made several statements on the Circle of Mind program on CNN TÜRK. During the interview, Özcan discussed the motivations behind the march, his criticisms of the party leadership, and his plans for the future.
Özcan stated that he embarked on the march with doubts but was encouraged by the overwhelming support from the public. He expressed his frustration with the electoral defeat and the lack of action from the party leadership, specifically targeting CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. As a symbol of his protest, he famously threw a seat in front of the CHP Headquarters.
Özcan criticized Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul, for not taking enough decisive steps to bring about change within the party. He argued that İmamoğlu should either declare his candidacy for the mayorship of Istanbul or demand a leadership change within the CHP. Özcan emphasized the importance of adhering to party principles and questioned Kılıçdaroğlu’s adherence to the party’s program.
Regarding the future, Özcan plans to appeal to the Supreme Election Board and express his grievances. He denounced the dismissals of district and provincial heads and accused the party of canceling decisions that do not favor Kılıçdaroğlu. He also raised concerns about corruption within the CHP and questioned the allocation of funds to advertising agencies.
Özcan’s statements have stirred controversy within the party, with some criticizing his harsh tone. However, he remains steadfast in his stance and refuses to resign, stating that he will not be silenced or deterred. He hopes that his actions will send a message to the party leadership and spark a much-needed discussion about the direction of the CHP.
As Özcan’s statements continue to make headlines, it remains to be seen how his actions will impact the internal dynamics of the CHP and whether they will lead to any significant changes within the party.
