With this level of ambition, these guys would even blow up a natural gas line!

It has been revealed that the AKP reached an agreement with the owner of a perfectly functional private public bus, license plate 34 TL 4737 and code C-1056, in Istanbul, staged it to look broken, and then set up a scene to film it.

This private public bus, which operates under IETT, was not put into service on January 12, with the claim that it was broken. However, inspections conducted on the same day revealed that while it should have been in Beykoz Kavacık, it was actually at the Bahçeköy stop, which is outside its assigned area.

So, what was it doing there?

It was participating in the filming of a smear campaign video prepared by the AKP for the Istanbul local elections.

According to the script, IETT buses break down so frequently that passengers have to get off and push them.

Well, how do we know this film was shot for the AKP?

How else? The driver of the vehicle says it openly.

It even emerged that fifteen thousand lira was received for this "job"!

So, why were we not surprised by this big lie?

Because we have seen even bigger ones...

Before the last presidential elections, we witnessed Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's image being inserted among PKK leaders with a clumsy montage...

When this conspiracy was exposed, we even heard the AKP President say, "If it's a montage, it's a montage."

In politics, service is essential...

Those who cannot provide service resort to mudslinging.

And those who sling mud eventually end up sinking deep into that mud themselves!

It appears that as the ruling party begins to melt, meaning it starts losing votes, it has made a habit of producing fake news—that is, slinging mud.

The goal is not to serve or compete in service; it is to deceive and influence the voter through lies, deceit, traps, setups, and conspiracies, and to turn that into votes!

I hope they stop at this!

I hope they feel at least a little ashamed of being caught red-handed and do not do similar things again.

Otherwise, as Ekrem İmamoğlu continues to lead in the polls...

. With intentionally ruptured natural gas and water pipes...

. With sewers clogged because dirt was poured over them...

. With metro escalators that don't work because they were turned off by AKP youth...

. With metrobus vehicles left on the road due to sabotage...

. With broken street lamps...

. We will be exposed to dozens of baseless, fabricated, lying news stories about so-called mountains of trash.

All of this is a betrayal not just to the cities, but to those who live in them.

Don't do it, gentlemen...

Do not ruin these beautiful cities!

You will compete, of course; but do not lose your humanity...

Do not commit crimes!

Now... I expect Ekrem İmamoğlu to pursue this incident:

One: Which advertising agency or which partisan television channel attempted to film this slanderous video?

Two: If the fabrication had not been exposed, where would it have been broadcast?

Three: Who ordered this "job" from this agency or partisan television channel?

Four: Who wrote the script for this lie? How much money was agreed upon in return? How much was taken as an advance?

Five: Is this so-called failure story one of the first steps of a smear campaign? Will this be followed by the potential news stories I listed above?

Look, my friend; you are doing everything and pulling every stunt for the election, but...

You claim to be religious, right...

Isn't what you are doing bearing false witness and slandering?

I would say fear God if you don't fear people, but...

To tell you the truth; I am now even doubtful of your faith.
