Erdoğan to İmamoğlu: 'Hey Mr. Ekrem! You prove these, and see what Erdoğan does'

In Istanbul, the AKP's district chairs and administrations were previously determined in 39 districts. Today, the final leg of the provincial congresses is taking place.

Speaking at the congress, Erdoğan targeted the opposition over the February 6 earthquakes. Criticizing the opposition through the municipalities they govern, Erdoğan stated, "The era of interregnum in the municipalities they manage has given way to a period of collapse. Istanbul has turned into a hell of garbage, pits, and mud; you can't even pass through the burning buses," he said.

Key messages from Erdoğan's speech at the congress are as follows:

We will build a new Istanbul and a new Turkey after 2028. Today, a change of guard is taking place in our Istanbul organization. I thank Osman Nuri Kabaktepe, who has carried out his duty with honor and dignity for 4 years, on behalf of my party and my organization.

ATTACKED İMAMOĞLU OVER BILLBOARDS

I saw billboards on my way here. What is it? They claim they have equipped Istanbul with housing. They claim to have done in 5 years what we couldn't do in 23 years. Have you seen such a thing? Do such houses exist? Hey Mr. Ekrem, you prove these, and see what Erdoğan does.

BAHÇELİ'S HEALTH STATUS

I believe that Mr. Bahçeli, whose health is good, will complete his recovery period as soon as possible and continue his struggle to serve Turkey. During our phone call today, I had the opportunity to hear from him that his condition is quite good.

We will continue our fight against all structures that pose a threat to our national security in a way that will not let down our martyrs' families and our veterans.

So far, we have held the lottery for 201 thousand 580 houses and workplaces and delivered the keys to our rightful citizen owners. By the beginning of the year, we will complete the construction of 453 thousand houses and workplaces.

While we were dealing with the earthquake, there were those trying to reap political rent. They tried everything to break the citizens' hope. I have a few words for the 'earthquake tourists' who haven't been seen around for 2 years. You displayed the cruelty of the century during the disaster of the century; you insulted our earthquake victims just because of their voting preferences. Now, when you look back, aren't you ashamed at all? Do you feel no pangs of conscience for the evil you did to this nation during its most difficult and painful days? When will you realize the massive difference between opposing the government and being hostile to your state and nation?

"ISTANBUL HAS TURNED INTO A HELL OF GARBAGE, PITS, AND MUD"

I also have a few words for those who distribute plenty of promises and then vanish into thin air: You said you were building free houses, didn't you? Why couldn't you stand behind your promises?

No politician who serves the public comes out of the CHP. Attacking the police in front of the courthouse with the slogans of radical leftist organizations has become their routine. The internal struggle for power has blinded them. The era of interregnum in the municipalities they manage has given way to a period of collapse. Our metropolitan cities, including Istanbul, are falling apart. You can't pass through Istanbul because of burning buses. Istanbul has turned into a hell of garbage, pits, and mud.
