Özel addresses Erdoğan: 'In the future, you will go down in textbooks as a coup plotter'

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel attended the Organization Representatives Assembly Meeting held at his party's headquarters. It was noted that former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu did not attend the meeting, which was closely followed by the public.

Speaking at events held as part of his party's founding anniversary week, Özel addressed AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. 

“IN THE FUTURE, YOU WILL GO DOWN IN TEXTBOOKS AS A COUP PLOTTER”

Describing the pressure on his party as a “coup attempt,” Özel stated that Turkey's future has been interfered with for 173 days since March 19. Criticizing the deployment of police in front of provincial headquarters with harsh words, Özel addressed President Erdoğan and used the following expressions:

“In the future, you will go down in textbooks as a coup plotter. Is it worth being a junta leader? No matter what you do, you will not succeed. You will not be able to bend our steel-like will. You will be defeated by our righteousness, our courage, our determination, and the hopes and laughter of children. The day will come when you will be ashamed of all these things you have done, and there will be no one left to defend you.”

The full text of Özel's speech is as follows:

‘A 102-YEAR-OLD ANCIENT PLANE TREE, THE FATHER'S HEARTH…’

“Today, I am experiencing the happiness of being together with you under the shade of a 102-year-old ancient plane tree, under the roof of our father's hearth. We are at one of the most important meetings, one of the stages we care about most, of the program we prepared specifically for our party's founding week. A moment ago, I thanked our Secretary General, who made this presentation on behalf of everyone who contributed to these efforts, worked hard, and took time away from their families and loved ones, along with all our shadow ministers, our Deputy Chairmen, our Party Assembly members, and the strong, determined team working with them. Around this time last year, we held our ‘Second Century Change Congress.’ At that congress, with broad participation and the signature of our 81 provincial chairmen, we changed our charter with full consensus. As required by the article in that changed charter, our ‘September 4-9 Founding Week’ was established, and this year we are officially celebrating this week for the first time. We are together this week on the anniversary of the September 9th, the anniversary of the 1919 Sivas Congress, the day the enemy was thrown into the sea, the symbol of Anatolia's liberation from occupation, and the day our party was founded with the petition given to the Ministry of Interior, and the day our party, which was closed after the coup, was re-established. Tomorrow, we will all celebrate the last day of our week together by appearing before our founder, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and we will complete our founding week.” 

“IT WILL BRING THE ORGANIZATION TOGETHER WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS”

“In the past, we had small congresses that brought the organization together with our Headquarters, which were later criticized for being abolished. The deficiency in this regard was frequently and insistently voiced by our organization. In the charter change we made last year, we defined the Organization Representatives Assembly, which is extremely dynamic, meets the needs of the day, reflects the organization, and brings the organization together with the management and other stakeholders, to replace our small congresses of the past. Now we are at the first meeting of our Organization Representatives Assembly. Who does it consist of? Our 81 provincial chairmen are here. Our Women's and Youth Branch Chairmen are here. Our Party Assembly, High Disciplinary Board members, Metropolitan and Provincial Mayors, our previous chairmen, and participants in numbers determined by the population and votes received by our organization are in this hall. Welcome to the first of the Organization Representatives Assembly meetings, which we have substituted for our small congress that held important functions with its productivity and correct interventions at the right times in the past, here at our Istanbul Provincial Headquarters. I greet you all once again with respect.” 

“TOURED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF OUR YOUTH BRANCHES”

“As I tried to express a moment ago, our founding week began on September 4th, the 106th anniversary of the Sivas Congress, our first congress, with the simultaneous statements of our 81 provincial organizations. 80 of our provincial chairmen who made those statements in their provinces are here. Our Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik also attended the opening of the meeting in Istanbul. Now they are at their posts at the Provincial Headquarters to perform their duties and protect our father's hearth. Then we opened our exhibition where the past and the future are connected. Our exhibition was visited by you throughout the founding week under the guidance of 10 friends from our youth branches. Until October 29th, our exhibition is open to the visit of all our citizens here, right at the entrance of our Memory Museum, on the ground floor of our party. During working hours, the visits that will come here can see, through the perspective of the party programs made by our youth branches within the adventure of our party starting with the Sivas Congress and extending to the present day, and how those party programs later contributed to Turkey, how they were first discussed, how they became concrete, what goals they set before Turkey, and how these goals were later realized one by one and contributed to democracy, development, economy, unemployment, social peace, and an effective, strong, honorable foreign policy in Turkey by visiting the exhibition outside. We invite all our citizens to the Republican People's Party Headquarters until October 29th.” 

“OUR HEADQUARTERS WORKED LIKE A THINK TANK”

“With a schedule to be announced later, our exhibition will be open to the visit of our citizens throughout the country all year round. It will be opened to visitors in certain regions and centers where transportation is logistically convenient, and it will open up to Anatolia. Then, we first came together in this hall with nearly 600 experts, scientists, and academics at our Party Program Workshop. Then, we held a full-day meeting where incredibly productive feedback was reported, both by themselves and by the friends coordinating the tables, with roundtable studies on all floors of this building. Our Headquarters worked like a think tank that day. We started the youth forum with an opening we held two days ago, with the efforts and contributions of our youth branches and our Deputy Chairman in charge of Youth, again with an opening at the Memory Museum. Again, throughout the day, 250 young people, representing all young people in Turkey, young people who have achieved significant academic success at a young age, young people who have gone abroad but want to return to Turkey, representing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of young people, motorcycle couriers who earn their bread on a motorcycle, young people at home who are neither in education nor in employment, those working for minimum wage, those who are waiting to enter university, those who won university but could not register due to housing problems, those who won university, registered but could not continue due to economic difficulties, young people who continue at university but are under pressure, whose concerts, what they eat, what they drink, how they dress are interfered with, frankly, we discussed Turkey's future, that is, Turkey's future, not with young people, but with young people who are Turkey's reality, with 250 friends representing all segments of society in Turkey, from every social level, from every income level.” 

“THE REPUBLICAN PEOPLE'S PARTY IS A PROGRAM PARTY”

“Yesterday, we started our 102nd Anniversary Run with our young friends. Last night, we brought together tens of thousands in Ankara with a public concert given for free by 18 of our artists, each of whom covered their own accommodation and transportation expenses, saying, ‘We would only come to such a concert for pure and heartfelt solidarity.’ Today, we are holding our Organization Representatives Meeting with you. Throughout the whole week, as our Secretary General summarized very well a moment ago, first the first Provincial Advisory Board meetings you held in 81 provinces, then the District Advisory Board meetings in 973 districts, and with the opinions coming from there, you, our valuable representatives of the organization, who will have the final say in a political party, will give the final shape to your suggestions filtered from the opinions, ideas, and criticisms of 100 thousand citizens that you have concretized. Afterwards, at our regular congress, we will devote one day to the official discussion and voting of our program, and we will have given it its final shape all together. The Republican People's Party is undoubtedly a program party. Our party is the party of change and innovation. The vision put forward in our programs for 2 years has been carried into actions that transform Turkey. Our programs have always included visions of democratization, development, justice, and the social state from our founding to the present. Our developmentalist understanding, our moves, our desire for a strong social state that is the ‘voice of the voiceless,’ our determination to establish justice, and our goal of building democracy have formed the basis of all our programs. Undoubtedly, it will continue to be so from now on.” 

“IT WILL PREPARE TURKEY FOR FUTURE YEARS”

“Our party program update efforts have been going on for 1 year. This is what will prepare Turkey for the next 10 years. We have reached the final point in the text of creating a comprehensive vision goal that includes basic principles and values, built on Atatürk's revolutions and our six arrows. We carried out our work with a participatory, inclusive, and dynamic process. We have brought a feverish work that extends to every level of our party, opened to civil society, experts, academics, and citizens, to the final stage. The Republican People's Party is the party that follows the developments in our country and the world, and puts the new and most valid ideas into action. It has always been like this in the struggle for liberation, in the political and economic moves during the founding period, and in the labor struggle in the 70s. Now we are in a new era. We are carrying out a work suitable for the new with an approach that correctly identifies the problems of our Republic, which has suffered heavy destruction in the last 23 years, and reads the developments in the world well. Party programs are timeless texts. The approaches we present in our program will evolve into executive policies during our term in power. In other words, our party program will form the basis of both our power program and our government program. I will try to express and present to you and the public the approaches in our program, very generally and with examples and details on points where there is broad consensus because it has not taken its final form. However, we have a difficulty here. I think this part of the preface of Tanıl Bora's book 'Cereyanlar', which is one of my most important bedside books, is extremely valuable for an explanation we need here. Tanıl Bora says in his book, ‘The curious will find their own subject superficial, and those who are not interested will be bored by some details. There is no remedy,’ he says. In this hall, an attempt was made to create a text that seeks a remedy for this, that is, presents concrete suggestions on certain issues but does not detach the issue from its essence with excessive detail. This effort, this endeavor is for this.” 

“FOUR BASIC PILLARS IN THE PROGRAM”

“Our party program rests on four basic pillars. The first of these is state, administration, and democracy. The second pillar is development and economy. The third is the social state and welfare. The fourth part is foreign policy, security, and resilience. Undoubtedly, we handle resilience under this heading on a ground where it cannot be discussed by isolating it from foreign policy, security policies, and international relations. The first pillar, the concept of getting rid of the upside-down situation that Marx said for historical materialism, fits exactly here. The Republican People's Party adopts a management approach that is based on the will of the people, accountable, transparent, and participatory. In this context, we will implement a democratization program to carry out a radical change in the management system, to establish the rule of law and democracy, and to build an egalitarian social structure. We will switch to a parliamentary system based on a strong parliament, a strong assembly, and based on the principle of separation of powers. This is where the upside-down situation will be corrected. When the management system was asked to the person who was the savior, who convinced the country to a war of liberation first, then to a founding, and who was the undisputed sole leader then and now, from a one-man regime, when it was said, ‘Should we continue with the Sultanate? British-style monarchy? Presidential system like America?’, Atatürk, who said, ‘Before the war, we established an assembly to both direct the war and found the country. The assembly is the nation's assembly. We will do whatever it assigns,’ on the path shown by Atatürk, the Republican People's Party's management system proposal is a strong parliament. It is a parliamentary system. We will switch to this as soon as possible.”

“WE WILL RE-ESTABLISH THE RULE OF LAW”

‘We will recreate honorable lives. We will establish human rights and the rule of law at universal standards. We will not fall a millimeter behind European Union and Council of Europe Standards because our people deserve this. We will re-establish the balance between the new center and the new local in a new and strong way. The government's ultra-centralist understanding is clogging Turkey and making it unmanageable. We will ensure that services are provided by the closest administrative unit. We will strengthen local governments. Just as we saved municipalities from the previous waste, the previous extremely bad management, and favoritism with the vision our successful local administrators, our successful metropolitan mayors, our successful provincial mayors, and our mayors who manage our smallest town with their honor and effort put before Turkey, just as we do human-oriented municipalism, just as we manage cities, just as Mansur Yavaş has managed Ankara with a magnificent satisfaction rate with the support that has increased for the last 5-6 years, just as Mersin is managed, just as Muğla is managed, just as Bursa is managed, on the other hand, just as Ekrem İmamoğlu, whom 15.5 million people ran and made a presidential candidate on the day the nation was thrown inside, first ended a 25-year reign and made Istanbul the people's municipality, then worked for 5 years despite all obstacles, just as the difference of 13 thousand 600 first went to 806 thousand then to 1 million 100 thousand, just as Ekrem İmamoğlu broke records in satisfaction surveys, just as Zeydan Karalar broke records, just as Istanbul, Adana, Ankara, Mersin, Aydın, Muğla, Manisa, Denizli and all the places we are in management are managed, we will manage Turkey with that determination, with this honesty, with this courage.”

“THEY EVEN PERSONALIZED FOREIGN POLICY”

“Within this heading; you will be able to read the fight against corruption, gender equality, equal representation in politics, the fight against social inequalities, and our uncompromising political stance and proposals on merit in the state. The second main pillar is development and economy. The Republican People's Party adopts an egalitarian, fair, sustainable, and inclusive development vision with a social democratic perspective; While most of our population lived in villages in the first years of the Republic; while we had deficiencies in roads, bridges, doctors, teachers, technology; but despite this, with a transformative, revolutionary understanding, all of these were dealt with, the deficiencies were eliminated, and a great development move was achieved... Just as that understanding started a great development move in those difficult years, because the foundations were laid strong despite all the difficulties of the first century of this Republic, those who took over the legacy it brought at the end of 75 years, despite the coup periods and some negative events that occurred in between, instead of strengthening and developing this Republic with strong foundations in the last 25 years; by driving nails into its columns, by trying to cut some of its columns, and by taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the Republic, by targeting the most basic institutions of the Republic, by ignoring the most basic principles of management, and by making the management system ruleless, and unfortunately by even personalizing foreign policy, they created great destruction.”

“WE WILL START A GREAT DEVELOPMENT MOVE”

“We will start a great development move that catches the era to compensate for these lost years that were wasted. We are in a process where villages are emptied, the age of the population engaged in agriculture has risen to 60s, and two out of every three young people engaged in agriculture say, ‘If I find a job with minimum wage, I will leave, I will go to the city.’ We do not accept a picture where Anatolia is impoverished. We will ensure the transformation in production and strengthen Anatolia again. We do not see the economy as macro stability and mere growth. We see much more than that, and we claim it. We aim for development. We aim for the development of the whole society, not just one group. We promise a great production transformation. We promise a secure and human-dignified employment transformation. We promise a climate-resilient green transformation. We are looking for a remedy for the distribution crisis. We are presenting a social democratic program that eliminates the cost of living on the basis of social justice. In this part, we promise a new, inclusive, developmentalist state understanding that does all these; that is, a publicist, planner, participatory economic management. Our third pillar is the social state and welfare. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our party and our country, said, ‘The Republic is especially the voice of the voiceless.’ We will change the government understanding that is distanced from this country, that is not the voice of the voiceless, and that only protects those who are on its side and the rich. We will implement strong social policies. With our social policy understanding, we promise to end the poverty of workers and retirees. We promise to destroy poverty, not to manage it. For this, as the Republican People's Party, we propose and promise a basic citizenship income for every citizen of the Republic of Turkey, for everyone. After a realistic income test, we will ensure that every individual benefits from income support. Women will receive the largest income support within the family. The important point here is this: We will not exclude single-person households, whose numbers are increasing, from this income support. We care about the family institution. We care about the concept of the same family formed by the marriage of a woman and a man. However, we do not see the family only as consisting of this union. We are trying to save three sisters living together, struggling with rent problems, struggling with housing problems, and four friends who have come together due to economic difficulties, cannot find a job, and live together, from the clutches of poverty, and we are proposing that women and men be equal, work together, produce together, earn together, and live together, instead of seeing women in a place where they are stuck at home, looking after the child born, looking after the elderly, looking after the disabled if any, and freeing women from the constraint of ‘If you get married, you can start a family. You can sit at home’ today. We are setting out to re-establish the equality of women and men with the vision of our Ancestor. We will all live together the days when my sister Esma, who lives alone, Nuran aunt, who is struggling for bread in a poor neighborhood, and retired Osman uncle all reach a basic income with the right brought by just being a citizen. No one who is a citizen of this country will be in need of others.”

“NO ONE WILL LONG FOR A HOME TO PUT THEIR HEAD IN ANYMORE”

“Our basic principle in education will not be to isolate our children from the world, but to make them compete with the world and integrate them into the world. We will raise the world person, the person required by the information society. Quality education will not be an opportunity that only the rich can reach. No one's child will start life so far behind that they cannot close the gap. My brother Caner, who was born into poverty, will also go to the schools that everyone can go to, and will be able to receive the best, most quality education at the school he goes to. We will ensure gender equality. We will protect women's rights. We will carry out deterrent legal regulations regarding violence against women and femicides, and we will implement them uncompromisingly. The first instruction our President will give on the day he is elected will be to send the Istanbul Convention to the Assembly to be voted on and put into effect again. Day care centers for children, kindergartens, the elderly, and the disabled, and home care services will be strengthened. Women's care burden will decrease, and serious employment will be provided in these areas. We will make social housing production mandatory with quotas. Young people, retirees, and the poor will be saved from the housing problem. No one will long for a home to put their head in anymore. Young people and students will not be left in the middle. They will not have a problem like not being able to register for the school they won due to housing problems. The first instruction our President will give to the bureaucracy will be to TOKİ, ‘Build the Republic dormitories within one year. Save the students from the streets and the hands of the sects.’ Access to health services is the most basic human right. We will build an egalitarian, publicist health system. Quality health service will cease to be an opportunity that only the rich can access.”

“WE WILL BUILD A COUNTRY WITH NO WEAKNESSES”

“The fourth pillar of our program; foreign policy, security, and resilience. We will pursue a respectable foreign policy focused on democracy, welfare, and security. We will become a country that is Western, strong within Western institutions, listened to, not used, a country that cannot be ignored, a country where no plan can be made in any geography without its consent, despite its objection while a fiction, a plan is being made, a country that is not ignored. Full membership to the European Union is our most important goal. We made the application, we took the most important steps, as 87 parties from 79 countries signed in the international institutions where we are currently represented, all of Europe will support Turkey's full membership to the European Union during the Republican People's Party government, the whole world will support it, we will be a full member of the European Union. We promise a Turkey without bans for young people, and a Europe without visas. Being Western will not mean turning our backs on the East. A strong Turkey will be very valuable for both the East and the West. We are shaping the most careful, most sensitive, most determined projects on the issues of the Turkish Armed Forces reform, defense industry, and protection of borders. We will present this to our nation in the process before the election. Not for show after the election, not to deceive, not to make someone rich, not to leave these to the monopoly of a family; we will build a country that is truly domestic, truly national, truly sincere, that defends peace at home, peace in the world with the vision of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and that has no weaknesses when it comes to defending the country.”

“EVERYONE'S CHILD WILL BE ENTRUSTED TO THIS STATE”

“However, we do not see security as limited only to these. We express food security, work security, water security, cyber security, legal security, and the protection of streets from violence as priorities that cannot be separated from each other. We will provide resilience against disasters, the decline in population and fertility rates, and all kinds of risks. In total, the citizens of this country will not hesitate to have children or start a family. They will be able to reach safe and cheap food. Women will be able to walk on the street without fear. Water will be able to be drunk from the tap without fear. No one will wait six months for a hospital appointment. They will not worry about ‘I will be homeless, left on the street.’ They will dream in their country, their passport will be strong and respectable. Everyone will know that if they study and work, they can reach the best places. No one will say, ‘What will happen to this child if I go? My mind will be left behind.’ Everyone's child will be entrusted to this state, this nation, this country.”

“WE PROMISE PEACE TO THIS COUNTRY”

“We want peace in our country. We promise peace to this country. We want the crises to end, and the nation to attain democracy, justice, and welfare. We are preparing the party program exactly for this. On one side, there is a Republican People's Party trying to do these. On the other side, we are facing a malicious mind that disturbs the nation's peace, shrinks its bread, and hopes for politics from polarization. We are facing a government that has aged, tired, helpless, cannot be a hope for the nation, scratches as it is cornered, and has lost its mind from ambition. There is nothing left for this government to give to Turkey. They took a lot from this country, they stole a lot. But they gave nothing to this country, and there is nothing left they can give from now on. Those who are slaves to their own desires are not friends of this nation. In Turkey, Erdoğan's interests and the nation's interests have now diverged and become opposed to each other. Erdoğan is in a position to sacrifice everything for his own interests. He is ready to set the nation on fire so as not to get up from the seat he is clinging to. Every person and every institution that is a democratic threat to the government is wanted to be eliminated. Today, for them, the biggest threat to losing their power, the only threat by their own definitions, is the Republican People's Party. Unfortunately, multi-party politics is now under threat in Turkey. This is exactly why the Republican People's Party, which founded the country, tried it several times, succeeded in the end, and said ‘Turkey's democracy won’ in the first election it lost, gifted the multi-party regime to Turkey, made it win, and made it permanent with the election it lost, is being targeted. That is why we are not trying to defend the CHP as a position. We will defend democratic politics as a front.”

“ONE IN EVERY FOUR PEOPLE SEES THE MARCH 19 COUP AS AN INTERFERENCE IN POLITICS”

“The March 19 coup. This coup is a process that started in early October when a political figure, who had signed controversial decisions in the past, received an award in return, and became Deputy Minister of Justice, was actually appointed as the Chief Public Prosecutor of Istanbul in a way that is contrary to both the spirit and the letter of the constitution, just because there was no deputy ministry institution when that article of the constitution was written, it was seen as an opportunity, bypassed, a politician; his main duty is to cut the Republican People's Party, its hope for power, its march to power. A process has been started which is to make a coup against the Republican People's Party, therefore the future Party of Power, the next President, our Presidential Candidate. March 19 is the day this became concrete, and for 173 days since that day, the coup against Turkey's future has been continuing. We are all resisting that coup together. Our Presidential Candidate and our friends are in prison. They told every lie and slander, but they could not make the nation believe it. Still, three out of every four people see this as an interference in politics, an interference in politics through the judiciary. The number of those who believe in Erdoğan's theses never exceeds one in four people, 22-23 percent. That is why they are attacking our party today. They are canceling our Istanbul provincial congress. They are shamelessly appointing trustees. They are sending police in front of our provincial headquarters. They are not letting CHP members into their father's houses, they are violating our house, our home. They are attacking our lives in prison, our homes outside. I am addressing Erdoğan: Is it worth it? You are setting the nation on fire for your own interest. Is it worth it? You are taking Turkey backward, you are impoverishing the nation. Is it worth it? While you could be remembered as someone who has been in power in this country for years, in the future, you will go down in textbooks as a coup plotter. Is it worth it? While you are in the title of Presidency, while you could complete politics with this title, is it worth it to be a junta leader? No matter what you do, you will not succeed. You will not be able to end our energy. You will not be able to bend our steel-like will. You will not be able to scare our brave people. You will be defeated. You will be defeated by our righteousness, our courage, our determination, our smiling faces. You will be defeated by the tears of mothers. You will be defeated by the hopes and laughter of children. The day will come when you will be ashamed of all these things you have done. There will be no one left to defend you, but the guarantee of you, your children, and your family will again be this Republican People's Party, which defends the law.”

“WE WILL NEVER BOW DOWN”

“I would like to remind those who say to me, ‘Leave your friends in prison, come to Ankara. Sit at the head of the party. Stay there,’ and conversely, those who say, ‘If you continue this struggle, we will bring you down, we will throw you inside too,’ of the year 1934. The year is 1934. A British boat, which is highly likely to be involved in espionage activities, approaches Kanapiçe Bay in Kuşadası, Aydın. There is a private who is left on guard there against such infiltrations, which is strategically important. Soldier Musa. As he was taught, he first says ‘Stop’ to the approaching boat. He warns again, fires into the air. He sees that those inside the boat are determined to defeat him and land on the shore against his only weapon in his hand. After the last warning, he kills the British soldiers who want to step on the country's land. Then Britain takes action. They give a note to Turkey. They say, ‘Four of our soldiers died, give us the person who killed them. Try the person who killed them. Execute the person who killed them in the presence of our observers.’ Britain has given the harshest note. There, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; did not do Britain-based, interest-based politics, said ‘If we give Soldier Musa, we give this homeland,’ and returned Britain's note. Soldier Musa received his discharge, died of natural causes in his village, knowing the peace of doing his duty and how right it was to trust those he trusted while doing this duty. Just as we did not hand over Soldier Musa to the British, we will not hand over Ekrem Chairman or our friends to anyone. We are the party of brave people who saved a country under occupation because they risked everything and set out, who founded a Republic from a ruined, destroyed empire, who brought us all to these days, who made the flag wave again, who made the call to prayer read again, who are the guarantee of everyone's belief and life. When necessary, we have always paid the price, we pay, we will pay. We will fight with patience and perseverance. Like a grain of wheat, we will never bow down to the storm that has been evident since yesterday.”

“THE NATION WILL WIN, WE WILL WIN”

“I am addressing all our friends in prison from here. I am addressing our friends at the Istanbul Provincial Headquarters from here. I am addressing the 2 million honorable members of this party from here. No matter what they do, ‘Wait, grain of wheat remaining under the snow, you will sprout again with its waters. Your tears are not a remedy, don't cry, grow. If you can keep your head high, you will give height. Fear does not profit the one who falls on the road, you are in a love, you will live. What if insects surround you on four sides? Hold on tight to the soil, you will cope. Roses bloom in all kinds of colors on every side. This storm has been evident since yesterday. You will succeed. You will succeed.’ I greet you all with respect. Happy founding week. May our struggle be eternal. We are right. We are strong. We will win. The moral superiority is with us, the psychological superiority is with us, the majority energy is with us. The nation is with us. We are with the nation. The nation will win, we will win.”
