A first in 12 years: New role for Özgür Özel in the Socialist International

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel attended the Socialist International and delivered a speech there.

It was announced that for the first time in 12 years, the CHP will be represented at the level of Chairman.

In his assessment, CHP leader Özel stated, "This position I have been elected to will enable us to establish more frequent contact with our political allies to advance social democracy in the world."

EMPHASIS ON CONTACT

Regarding his election to this position, Özel stated, "We advocate that social democrats must act together against the rising far-right and authoritarian populism in Europe and the world. This position I have been elected to will enable us to establish more frequent contact with our political allies to advance social democracy in the world."

"SOCIAL DEMOCRATS' VOICES MUST BE HEARD MORE LOUDLY"

Özgür Özel continued as follows:

"Social democrats' voices need to be heard more loudly in Europe and the world, especially regarding the tragedy unfolding in Palestine. I hope this position will serve this purpose, and I believe that by representing our party and our country in the best way possible, I will contribute to the struggle against authoritarianism, which is a problem for the whole world. I would also like to thank Mr. Ünal Çeviköz, who has held this position on behalf of our party since 2022, for his contributions."
