Actor Metin Yıldız explains why he did not support the İmamoğlu protests: 'I am very busy'

Metin Yıldız, known for the sketches he performed as part of the 'Çok Güzel Hareketler Bunlar' troupe, made a post on his X account.

Yıldız explained the reason for his post with the following words: "I am receiving intense demands these days, both through my social media accounts and personally. Oh, why am I staying silent, oh, why am I not making posts, oh, why am I not calling for a boycott, oh, and so on and so forth..."

Sharing a photograph taken with İBB Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu in the past, Metin Yıldız stated that the reason for his silence was that Ekrem İmamoğlu did not answer his calls and that he could not reach him at all.

Yıldız's post is as follows:

Hello friends,

I am receiving intense demands these days, both through my social media accounts and personally. Oh, why am I staying silent, oh, why am I not making posts, oh, why am I not calling for a boycott, oh, and so on and so forth...

Why, you ask? Let me tell you;

None of you knew the friend with the microphone in the photo...

He was the Beylikdüzü Mayoral Candidate, the year was 2014, and I was by his side...

He won.

I didn't call. I didn't make any demands...

In 2019, I was in Fatsa, there was a pandemic. He said 'Everything will be very beautiful,' I believed him. I left my mother and father, traveled 2,000 km, and voted for him...

He won.

Two years later,

I called for a cinema film, for art. He didn't answer.

I sent a message.

He didn't return it.

I called his assistant.

He didn't write back.

The answer came:

The gentleman is busy.

I called again.

Very busy.

I sent an email.

Unfortunately, they are very, very, very busy...

For five years, they have been busy; we can never reach them...

I look around,

Those who were not by his side that day are all together around him now, engaged in intense artistic activities :)

Now I am writing this here for those who ask why I don't share anything...

If anyone asks, tell them too...

I am very busy...
