Critical call to Özgür Özel from Retired Major General Ahmet Yavuz: 'Those who have the courage should form their own party'
As "change" debates continue within the Republican People's Party (CHP), Retired Major General Ahmet Yavuz has made a striking statement regarding the process. Arguing that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will never hold a party congress before the local elections, Yavuz called on the faction seeking change, led by Özgür Özel, to "form your own party."
Waters are not calming down in the CHP following the elections. While the current administration's stance against the intra-party opposition's calls for a congress continues to be debated, Retired Major General Ahmet Yavuz made a highly discussed assessment via social media/public opinion.
Stating that the factions raising the flag of change within the party are only wasting time by talking, Yavuz used the following expressions:
"Kılıçdaroğlu will never hold a congress until the election; therefore, those who have the courage will form their own party and move forward, while those who do not have the courage will just keep talking and become a lifeline for Kılıçdaroğlu, who will lose the next election as well!"
"A Clear Message to Özgür Özel"
In political circles, this harsh and clear statement by Ahmet Yavuz was interpreted as a piece of advice on direction for Özgür Özel, who is mentioned as a candidate for the CHP Chairmanship and is one of the pioneers of the "change" movement.
According to Yavuz's analysis, the intra-party opposition's expectation of a congress is unrealistic, and this waiting period will be nothing more than a "lifeline" for the current administration, which is heading toward a potential new election defeat.
Yavuz emphasizes that instead of exhausting the struggle within the party, Özel and his team should show courage and continue their path by forming their own political party; otherwise, he argues, this process will end negatively and in disappointment for those who want change.
All eyes are now turned to how Özgür Özel and the "change" front, who prefer to push the party's internal rules and the congress process, will react to these external calls for a "new party" and "courage.".
