Stating before the ceremony that he would have big surprises, Özel showed a red card to the government and said, "Pensioners, are you ready to keep a red card in your pockets from now on, all across Turkey, and show these red cards to the government until it leaves, as you endure these low salaries and witness this oppression?"
