Former CHP district heads of Muğla also resigned from CHP
The 37th Term Muğla District Heads of the Republican People's Party (CHP) announced their resignation from CHP membership in a joint statement to the public.
The joint text noted that the decision was not made easily, drawing attention to evaluations that the internal party democracy and organizational will were impaired rather than the current party administration.
"Our decision is not directed at individuals"
The statement emphasized that CHP is the founding party of the Republic, expressing the view that the current state within the party negatively affects internal party democracy, organizational will, and political legitimacy.
The text included the following expressions:
"Our objection is not towards individuals. Our objection is to the impairment of the natural functioning of democratic politics, the organizational will becoming questionable, and the people's demand for change being left unanswered."
In line with these reasons, the resignation from CHP membership was shared with the public.
Statement of support for the new political movement
The joint statement indicated that the resignation does not mean moving away from the fundamental values of the Republic, and that commitment to democracy, rule of law, and the people's will will continue on a different political ground.
The statement also mentioned support for the new political movement shaped under the leadership of Mr. Özgür Özel, emphasizing goals of strengthening the democratic rule of law, re-establishing the principle of separation of powers, and restoring the sense of justice.
