AKP İzmir Deputy Ceyda Bölünmez, who practically mocked the attack on Mahmut Tanal with her statement from the parliamentary podium, behaved in a way that seemed to praise this act of violence by referencing the punch thrown by AKP's Osman Gökçek, stating, "Mr. Mahmut, I suppose you have forgotten your pain, you have forgotten your pain, I suppose. Know your place."

While AKP's Bölünmez was being criticized for these remarks, she carried out a noteworthy visit.
The timing of Ceyda Bölünmez's visit to the office of Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, accompanied by her father Süleyman Bölünmez, who was an independent deputy for Mardin in the 22nd term, drew attention.
BÖLÜNMEZ'S FATHER SERVED TIME FOR FUEL SMUGGLING
Bölünmez, who was released to be tried without arrest some time after being detained in 2000 for the crime of 100 million TL fuel smuggling, had gained the shield of immunity when he was elected as an independent deputy from Mardin. Süleyman Bölünmez, who could not be re-elected in the following election, was detained again on charges of international fuel smuggling while his retrial was beginning.
Bölünmez, who was detained on allegations of introducing fuel brought from Greece into the domestic market through illegal means, was arrested again in 2009 for the same crime along with 7 people, including his brother, 9 years later.
