Support for Kılıçdaroğlu's video from 19 CHP deputies: 'They shared it on their social media accounts'

A 3.5-minute video shared on social media by former Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has stirred the party. Kılıçdaroğlu, who described the CHP as a "sacred trust," issued a call for "internal accounting" and "purification," stating, "A trust cannot be tainted, a trust cannot be smeared." This message received support from 19 CHP deputies who shared the video.

The first reaction from the CHP leadership to this move by Kılıçdaroğlu came from Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır.

The names of the CHP deputies who drew attention by sharing Kılıçdaroğlu's "purification" video on their social media accounts are as follows:

''RESPONSE FROM CHP LEADERSHIP: THAT IS HOW I PERCEIVED IT''

An alternative interpretation of Kılıçdaroğlu's words, which resonated within the party, came from CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır. Başarır stated that he did not interpret Kılıçdaroğlu's use of the term "purification" as an internal party criticism, but rather through the lens of the judiciary and the justice system.

Drawing attention to imprisoned mayors and party officials, Başarır made the following statement:

"He is talking about the purification of a system in which he and our fellow travelers walking with us are in prison due to unjust and unlawful indictments and investigations; that is how I perceived it."
