IMM Mayor İmamoğlu stated, "Knowing that every act of tyranny and every judicial attack directed at one of us is committed against all of us and our nation, we will embrace each other and our nation even more tightly.
No obstacle, no difficulty will ever hinder our determination to serve our people and establish a humane, fair order. We succeeded, and we will succeed again. We will not surrender to those trying to block the nation's power. We will work, we will resist, and Turkey will win."
In his message, İmamoğlu included the following statements:
"The strong support our nation gives to the populist, action-oriented policies of CHP municipalities and the trust they place in us is the greatest nightmare of this government. The strong support our nation gives to the populist, action-oriented policies of CHP municipalities will continue.
As we do our job in the best way possible and grow in the eyes and hearts of the people, and as we present a serious alternative for the country's administration, they become even more aggressive and lawless.
In the helplessness of a government whose true colors have been revealed and whose time has run out, they are disregarding the national will and murdering democracy. These are the final moments of a rotten order.
They have all kinds of power in their hands, but they do not have the support of the nation behind them. They have every resource at their disposal, but there is no love or respect left for the nation within them. They have lost their sense of justice. That is why they will lose. Their political lives, which they try to extend through pressure, tyranny, slander, and conspiracies, will come to an end at the first ballot box.
"We will walk in the footsteps of Atatürk, on the path of the national will"
Under all circumstances, we have never refrained, and we will never refrain, from serving our nation, protecting the republic and democracy, and fighting for justice and freedom for everyone.
We have not accepted, and we will not accept, the dominance of any power over our nation, which elected us and entrusted us with duties and responsibilities. We will walk in the footsteps of Atatürk, who said, 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation,' and on the path of the national will.
Knowing that every act of tyranny and every judicial attack directed at one of us is committed against all of us and our nation, we will embrace each other and our nation even more tightly. No obstacle, no difficulty will ever hinder our determination to serve our people and establish a humane, fair order. We succeeded, and we will succeed again. We will not surrender to those trying to block the nation's power. We will work, we will resist, and Turkey will win. This noble nation, which has overcome many hardships, will find peace through our struggle. Everything will be very beautiful."
