CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 'Dr. Mustafa Kemal Gavuzoğlu and Bedriye Gavuzoğlu Foundation Aged Care and Rehabilitation Center', which will be put into service within the scope of the '150 Projects in 150 Days' marathon by IMM. "If the rulers of a country make that country uninhabitable, we have a great responsibility: to enlighten the public," said Kılıçdaroğlu, "But if you are influencing the judiciary, our duty is to rebuild democracy. They still feel the pain of losing Istanbul in their hearts. They couldn't get enough of Istanbul's rent. I can't understand how an understanding that is greedy for so much haram can come into power. We will fight this together," he said. Speaking at the ceremony, IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu “I see this meaningless and unlawful punishment given to me as a reward for my success. I know it makes them very angry to end their wasteful schemes. In the presence of our President, today, as on the first day, my head is high, my forehead is open, I say with all my heart: 2023 will be a very good year. We will work hard. We will continue to do our business from Istanbul. We are at work. And you will see, for our country, 2023 will be a year like a feast,” he said.
CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, IMM President, who was given a political ban and imprisonment Ekrem İmamoğlu and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the “Dr.Mustafa Kemal Gavuzoğlu and Bedriye Gavuzoğlu Foundation Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Center” in Eyüpsultan Ağaçlı. To the ceremony; CHP Istanbul Provincial Chair Canan Kaftancıoğlu, CHP metropolitan mayors, district mayors, deputies and donor Bedriye Gavuzuşlu attended. Kılıçdaroğlu and İmamoğlu made speeches at the ceremony.
KILIÇDAROĞLU: “THEY STILL EXPERIENCE THE LOSS OF ISTANBUL”
Kılıçdaroğlu, who started his speech with the words "We are a very nice family", said: "We defend democracy and justice in every environment. If there is a deficiency, we try to make up for it in solidarity. We do not make any distinction between citizens. We all know that the city generates rent. If you live in a city, that city has a rent. But the main goal of our family; that rent belongs to the people living in that city. It's not someone's. It's not a group. It is not a center of interest. It belongs to all the people living in the city. When we think of Istanbul like this, they were saying; 'He who loses Istanbul loses Turkey.' They still haven't digested it. Still 'How did we lose Istanbul'; they suffer from it. And they are trying to take revenge. While sitting in the front row, we have the Mayor on one side and the Mayor of the Metropolitan Municipality on the other. They want to impose a political ban on both. While Ekrem President was talking, I thought. Why? For what reason? Give me a clever reason. A smart reason. Our Mayor of Yalova is here. It hasn't been launched for months. We know all these injustices. Maybe our shortcoming is that we are a little coy about conveying injustices to large masses. However, we should tell it. We should tell it everywhere. We have to tell it in every environment.”
“HOW CAN AN UNDERSTANDING SUCCESSFUL TO SO HARMFUL CAN BE POWER”
"If the rulers of a country make that country uninhabitable, we have a great responsibility: to enlighten the public," said Kılıçdaroğlu, "But if you are influencing the judiciary, our duty is to rebuild democracy. Our deputies elected by the people were imprisoned. We fought for this, they were all acquitted. But today there is still an environment where people who think differently are wanted to be punished. They still feel the pain of how they lost Istanbul. They still feel the pain of losing Istanbul in their hearts. They couldn't get enough of Istanbul's rent. I can't understand how an understanding that is greedy for so much haram can come into power. We will fight this together," he said.
“NO ONE WHO DECIDES ACCORDING TO THE RULE OF LAW AND CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT A JUDGE AND PROSECUTOR”
Kılıçdaroğlu said, "Some may wear a judicial cloak," and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyone who does not make a decision according to the rule of law and conscientious opinion is not a judge or a prosecutor. They are perfunctory. History will give its verdict on them as well. The decision of the judge sitting at someone's table is null and void. What is conscientious opinion? It is the voice of the Creator in our hearts. A judge is not a judge if he has no conscience. We have no account to be given to anyone other than Allah. We will continue on our way with perseverance and determination. Despite all the pressures, we are trying to expand the epic with our 11 metropolitan cities and other municipalities. We know that they listen and supervise 24 hours a day. If you don't supervise, you don't listen, you're despicable. CHP is not an ordinary party. We are not a party established in lawyers' offices. We are a party that was founded during the National War of Independence, starting from the Sivas Congress. Patriotism is in our genes. We consider it an honorable duty to be accountable to the public. Of course there will be criticism. Of course, when criticism comes, we make up for what we lack. The important thing is to approach without prejudice. Each of us has a responsibility to history. Our struggle is a struggle for rights and law. With perseverance and determination, we will continue on our way. Despite all the pressures, we will continue to write epics and grow the epic with all our municipalities. Patriotism is in our genes. We consider it an honorable duty to be accountable to the public. We will definitely account for every penny of tax.”
FROM KILIÇDAROĞLU THANKS TO GAVUZOĞLU
Kılıçdaroğlu conveyed his thanks to the donor Bedriye Gavuzoğlu, who attended the ceremony, and said, “I would like to present my greetings and respect for your contribution. Old Istanbulites will stay here. In this context, the donation you make, the foundation we will lay, the contribution of Mr. Ekrem is extremely valuable”. Emphasizing that they have a responsibility towards history, Kılıçdaroğlu said, “Each of us has to be a part of this struggle. We will continue this struggle for justice with perseverance and determination, no matter what they do. Young people who will go to the polls for the first time and vote will leave a very good note in the history of world politics.
İMAMOĞLU: “DO NOT LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY…”
Imamoglu, who started his speech by saying, "Don't look at what happened yesterday, we came together for a much better job today", said, "Today, we want to turn this opportunity that Bedriye Hanım's beautiful heart opened up for us into a very good service for Istanbul and Here, we are laying the foundation of a center where we will provide good services to the aged elders and elders of Istanbul for the future. It is a groundbreaking ceremony that we will hopefully complete and put into service next year, with an investment of more than 200 million liras. I wish good luck for her in advance, I wish this good service to come to a conclusion with your beautiful heart, Ms. Bedriye. Thank you very much,” she said. Reminding that they are nearing the end of the “150 Projects in 150 Days” campaign, İmamoğlu said, “During this campaign, I would like to state that we have reached 168 projects at 199 points. Although we embarked on a journey with the concept and definition of '150 Projects in 150 Days', we have reached a much higher number today. I would like to share an even more pleasing thing. I would like to share the good news with our people that we will open and lay the foundations of at least 150 more projects in our Istanbul within the next February, March and April.”
“WE LISTEN TO THE REQUESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ISTANBUL”
Stating that they listen to the demands of the people of Istanbul wholeheartedly while preparing the projects and providing the services, İmamoğlu said, “We believe in this: It is impossible to manage a city, serve a nation, serve a society, without listening to them and making decisions together with them. Therefore, we made the most basic principles of democracy, both participation, the process of common sense and transparency, felt at every moment under the roof of IMM, and we made an effort to represent it at the highest level.” Expressing his thanks to CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who paved the way for the IMM Presidential candidacy, İmamoğlu said, “When I embarked on this journey, I was asked the questions asked, 'How would you like to be remembered? When they said, 'What is your goal,' I said, 'I want to be the most democratic mayor of this city ever'. Because being the most democratic mayor means to be the most successful mayor of this city unconditionally. In that respect, the journey on this ideal of democracy that we have drawn for ourselves has never failed.”
“I CONSIDER THIS senseless and unlawful punishment given to me as a reward for my success”
Noting that they carry out important services in Eyüpsultan district, as in every district of the city, İmamoğlu said, “I care very much about providing egalitarian services to each of our districts, regardless of which party governs this place. I can say this as a picture of pride: I can already see that we have succeeded in being a Mayor who looks at 39 districts of Istanbul equally, and a Mayor who contacts and speaks with each district municipality”. “Sometimes no success goes unpunished in our country; There is also such a point of view,” said İmamoğlu, adding: “I also see this meaningless and unlawful punishment given to me as a reward for my success. I know it makes them very angry to end their wasteful schemes. At the same time, I know that they are very sad that the period that treated some of Istanbul's institutions that should not be respected, on the contrary, that you should be cautious about, is over. Here are those institutions, the institutions and organizations that made us experience those shames that we talked about for ten days a week. In other words, we have kept away from our environment some institutions and organizations that are stakeholders in different, nasty and immoral transactions, from abuse experienced by a child. I adore the good ones. Of course, they are very angry and they want to punish us.
“YOU CANNOT EXPECT ANY OTHER MAGNIFICENCE FROM THIS MIND”
“In fact, it was necessary to understand their evil minds and their evil hearts when they shouted in the squares, 'Will you vote for Binali Bey or for Sisi?' If you love your God, what are we to Sisi? In other words, a mind that speaks its language, to a countryman who was born in a village of the country and educated him by this beautiful Republic and made him the Mayor of Istanbul, the old name of the Akçaabat district of the Trabzon province of the Black Sea, the old name Zanane, the new name Cevizli You cannot expect any other skill from the mind that says this to a man born in his village. I am very clear. A few words matter. One of them is, 'Not to be entitled and not to be fed.' As on the first day, I would like to express here in the presence of our President and all our guests, in the presence of all our citizens, and in the presence of 16 million Istanbulites and 86 million citizens watching us: I have not violated anyone's rights, and I will not let anyone dishonor me. I want to underline this," he said.
"HEADING THE WORLD IS NOT BY WEARING A JUDGE'S SHIRT, IT IS BY WISDOM AND SCIENCE"
Saying, “To challenge the world, it is not possible to defeat people by wearing the judge's shirt or dress,” İmamoğlu concluded his speech with these words:
“To challenge the world is with reason and science. I am expressing it again from this city: Just as this nation will not give up its right, we will show the proof again in the coming period together with our President and other political leaders at the table of six, together with our President and other political leaders at the six table, and we will show the proof of 86 million people lost by the cowards won by the cowards. We will live an era that we won. May Allah not let anyone lose their reputation. May Allah grant everyone the opportunity to walk among his people, with their good deeds and good feelings, with their foreheads open and their heads held high. While I am doing my duty, I pray, 'My God, please do not embarrass me to my family, do not embarrass our nation'. Because when a person does something that will make his head bow forward, the sentences get stuck in his throat. Thank God, in the presence of our President, I am saying it with my head high, my forehead open, my chest just like on the first day. I express this before all of you: 2023 will be a very good year. We will work hard. We will continue to do our business from Istanbul. We are at work. And you will see, for our country, 2023 will be a year like a feast.”
After the speeches, the buttons were pressed and the foundation of the “Dr.Mustafa Kemal Gavuzoğlu and Bedriye Gavuzoğlu Foundation Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Center” was laid.
