Following the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel had called for a boycott of certain brands, stating that the media had not sufficiently covered the protests and the primary elections. AKP member Mustafa Varank, who visited an Ankara branch of one of the coffee chains included in this boycott, drew attention by sharing a video from the location.
'RIGHTS FOR YOU, BANS FOR ME'
Varank faced criticism on social media for the video he shared with the caption, 'Things are good here, the youth are happy, the deputies are happy...'
Reacting to the situation, social media personality Oğuzhan Uğur recalled an incident involving Vedat Milör, stating, 'An investigation for "covert advertising" had been launched against Vedat Milör for a video he filmed at a Kent Lokantası... I had said that I personally saw the voice rising in the streets was above party politics. This is the real reason... Rights for you, bans for me.'
Vedat Milör’e Kent Lokantasında çektiği video için ‘örtülü reklam’ soruşturması başlatılmıştı... Sokakta yükselen sesin partiler üstü olduğunu bizzat gördüm demiştim ya. İşte asıl sebep bu… Sana hak, bana yasak. https://t.co/6boCdkfjdP
