CHP reacts to governor who said 'Our leader's name is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan': We have taken note

Başarır reacted to the Kırklareli Governor, whose words "Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is our leader" have become a topic of public debate. Başarır stated, "The AKP Chairman is his leader! Shame on such a governor! In a normal state of law, the Minister of Interior would immediately launch an investigation, but in this system, they will not!"

"YOU WILL BE IMPARTIAL"

Başarır used the following expression: "The Kırklareli Governor said, 'We have a leader, his name is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan!' In other words, the AKP Chairman is his leader! Shame on such a governor! The Constitution says: You will be impartial. You will serve 85 million people, not a single party! In a normal state of law, the Minister of Interior would immediately launch an investigation, but in this system, they will not!"

"WE HAVE TAKEN NOTE OF THE CERTIFIED GOVERNOR"

Başarır made the following statement:

"Because in a one-man regime, a medal of loyalty is more valid than a certificate of merit! Moreover, he once gave this governor a certificate of achievement with his own hands. We have taken note of this 'certified' governor; this note will be needed when true merit and impartiality are re-established!"

HERE IS ALI MAHIR BAŞARIR'S POST:

"The Kırklareli Governor said, 'We have a leader, his name is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan!'

In other words, the AKP Chairman is his leader!

Shame on such a governor!

The Constitution says: You will be impartial. You will serve 85 million people, not a single party!

In a normal state of law, the Minister of Interior would immediately launch an investigation, but in this system, they will not!

Because in a one-man regime, a medal of loyalty is more valid than a certificate of merit!

Moreover, he once gave this governor a certificate of achievement with his own hands.

We have taken note of this 'certified' governor; this note will be needed when true merit and impartiality are re-established!"

Kırklareli Valisi “Bizim bir liderimiz var, adı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan!” demiş.

Yani AKP Genel Başkanı onun lideriymiş!
Yazıklar olsun böyle valiye!

Anayasa diyor ki: Tarafsız olacaksın. Bir partiye değil, 85 milyona hizmet edeceksin!
