The "absolute nullity" lawsuit filed regarding the 38th Ordinary Congress of the Republican People's Party (CHP) continues to be one of the most discussed topics in politics.
It is assessed that the case, which was rejected by the local court and subsequently moved to the appellate process, could affect not only the internal balances of the CHP but also Turkish politics as a whole.
"THE JUDICIARY AND THE STATE DID WHAT THEY COULD"
İsmail Saymaz stated that the source he spoke with is a figure who supports the "absolute nullity" decision and is in contact with the Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu camp.
According to Saymaz, the source used the expressions, "The judiciary and the state did what they could in the nullity case. What happens from here on depends on the dynamics within the CHP."
It was also stated that the source expressed that the opposition wing within the CHP does not hold significant weight within the party.
"IT HAS NO RESONANCE IN THE PARTY BASE"
According to Saymaz's statements, the source expressed that there is no strong counterpart within the CHP where the "absolute nullity" decision could find resonance.
The source argued that there is no serious support for this process among the CHP base, claiming that the intra-party opposition is not conducting effective political activity.
It was also reported that the source said the opposition wing is focusing on a judicial decision rather than a political struggle against the party leadership.
"EVEN IF A DECISION IS REACHED, CHAOS WILL ENSUE"
In the assessments conveyed by İsmail Saymaz, it was also stated that a possible "absolute nullity" decision could create a new crisis within the party.
It was noted that the source commented, "There is no counterpart in the party to whom this decision could be applied. Even if a decision is reached, this situation will create chaos."
"THE POLITICAL RESULT EXPECTED BY THE AK PARTY DID NOT MATERIALIZE"
In the conversation conveyed by Saymaz, it was stated that the corruption and similar investigations conducted against the CHP leadership did not create the expected political impact.
It was reported that the source said the goal was to create a loss of political reputation through the processes carried out against Özgür Özel, Ekrem İmamoğlu, and Mansur Yavaş, but that this did not occur at the desired level.
"THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP IS BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE MORALLY WORN DOWN"
İsmail Saymaz stated that in the source's final assessment, they claimed that the process against the CHP leadership is being continued using a different method.
