In response to claims that she would resign from the CHP, Afyonkarahisar Mayor Burcu Köksal stated, "I am an Atatürk nationalist; I am a member of the Republican People's Party who is so devoted to my state, my homeland, my nation, and my flag that I would give my life for them. If there is no room left to engage in politics within the party, I will open a new space for myself within this party again. In the past, they kicked me out the door and I came in through the chimney; I will enter through the chimney again if necessary. The rest is water off a duck's back."
Köksal stated that the allegations were baseless and made a statement on her social media account.
Burcu Köksal used the following expressions:
"On social media, some trolls are writing and drawing that I will engage in politics in another party.
I am addressing those trolls from here: You only exist as much as the fee you receive. Success does not come by coincidence.
I have worked and struggled throughout my life. Positions were not presented to me on golden platters. I have reached this point by sacrificing my home, my family, and my friends.
During my time as a deputy, I was threatened with the life of my child. Today, those who cannot obtain benefits from the municipality are attacking with troll teams.
I am a child of the Republican People's Party founded by Atatürk. I am an Atatürk nationalist; I am a member of the Republican People's Party who is so devoted to my state, my homeland, my nation, and my flag that I would give my life for them.
If there is no room left to engage in politics within the party, I will open a new space for myself within this party again. In the past, they kicked me out the door and I came in through the chimney; I will enter through the chimney again if necessary. The rest is water off a duck's back.''
