Labour Party (EMEP) Chairman Seyit Aslan, in his statement after meeting with Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, stated that a Constitution written by the September 12 junta, with every article being anti-democratic, does not meet the needs of workers and laborers today, adding, “This Constitution is one that dynamites social peace. The appointment of a trustee instead of the immediate detention of a mayor who received the public's vote and earned the right to representation just two days ago on March 31 is a picture of the anti-democratic process we are going through.”
