CHP Pendik Candidate Tarık Balyalı: Pendik is under the hegemony of 3 families and 10 people

Parties continue to announce their candidates for the local elections. One of the names announced was CHP Pendik Mayoral Candidate Tarık Balyalı. As a guest of journalist Mehmet Koyuncu, Balyalı discussed the problems of Pendik, rent-seeking relationships, and his promises.

During the program, Balyalı drew attention to certain families in Pendik. Balyalı said the following:

"Pendik is under the hegemony of 3 families and 10 people. All residents of Pendik know who they are. Everyone knows who these people are. Wherever you look in Pendik, you see the same people. All of them are intertwined with the current government, they are a part of the current government, and they are even the names that direct the current government. Furthermore, they are the people who determine the current government's mayoral candidates or the names in various other positions.

In Pendik, whatever they want happens. Nothing happens that they do not want. Zoning amnesties are also arranged according to them. We have carried out political and legal struggles against them. And we have raised our voices against them everywhere. Pendik is a city with a population of 750 thousand. This city is truly greater than those 3 families and 10 people."
