Breaking News: Mansur Yavaş responds to Erdoğan's 'How can the CHP get so many votes' remarks: 'Let them do exactly what we do...'
Speaking on the government's policy of appointing trustees, Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş said, "They must accept the will of the voters." Responding to statements by AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Yavaş said, "Let them do exactly what we do, and the public will elect them too."
Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel met with his party's 414 mayors in Ankara today to discuss the government's blockade on daycare centers, the social security debts of CHP-run municipalities, and the agenda regarding the appointment of trustees.
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş made statements to journalists regarding the current agenda.
Criticizing the government's trustee policy, Yavaş stated, "No trustee should be appointed anywhere until the legal process is concluded." Yavaş emphasized the importance of voter will.
Drawing attention to the economic and social services provided by CHP-run municipalities, Yavaş took a jab at the Ministry of National Education, saying, "They are looking for ways to hinder the favor CHP-run municipalities receive from the public due to their social municipalism. Well, you open the kindergartens... They cannot. It is impossible for those who do not clean their schools to provide these services. We are offering cooperation. After all, we are both public institutions. There is no politics in this. The future of the children is what is important."
RESPONSE TO ERDOĞAN
Responding to AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has targeted CHP-run municipalities, Yavaş said, "Continuous smear campaigns were conducted against us on some television channels. The voters slapped them in the face and re-elected us by breaking a record. They adopted an approach saying, 'You didn't do anything, you just created a perception.' But all CHP mayors have shown who is doing real municipalism and what real municipalism is."
Responding to Erdoğan's remarks, "How can the CHP get so many votes, how can they win so many municipalities, how can they be so bold? To speak frankly, we as the AK Party are the cause of this," Yavaş stated, "Let them do exactly what we do, and the public will elect them too."
