DEMİRTAŞ'S HARSH REACTION TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST
The website named Ensonhaber, which carried the news of the dismissal on its page, shared this news on its social media account with the phrases: 'Look at the malice and hatred on her face! What does it matter if you finish first, you are an enemy to the majority of the nation... She is about to be fired, don't worry, the CHP will make you a deputy, you won't be unemployed.'
While many social media users found this post by the website disrespectful and damaging to personal rights, economist Özgür Demirtaş shared the social media cover prepared by Ensonhaber for the dismissal news on his own page and expressed his reaction with the words, 'May God damn you for this visual.'
