CHP activities and political advocacy in Turkey

Overview

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP), has been advocating for judicial reform, economic support for small businesses, and social stability in Turkey. During a visit to İzmir, Kılıçdaroğlu visited Buca Prison to meet with detained former officials and called for the immediate preparation of indictments to prevent injustice. He proposed establishing a Ministry of Tradesmen to protect local merchants from large chain markets and advocated for more affordable credit. Additionally, CHP Deputy Chairman Orhan Sarıbal criticized government economic policies for allegedly prioritizing interest payments over agricultural support. Expanding his regional outreach, Kılıçdaroğlu visited the İdil district and Cizre in Şırnak. He called for social peace, the release of political prisoners—specifically mentioning Selahattin Demirtaş—and argued that the Kurdish issue should be addressed within the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). In Cizre, he advocated for the district to be declared a free trade zone to boost employment and raised concerns regarding the closure of facilities in the Organized Industrial Zone due to infrastructure shortages. Ahmet Türk, the DEM Party Co-Mayor of Mardin, also expressed concern that the trustee system creates a ‘mortgage on the will of the people’. During a visit to Gaziantep to celebrate the party's 103rd anniversary, Kılıçdaroğlu addressed economic hardships affecting industry, farmers, and students. He offered self-criticism regarding the CHP’s declining vote shares, stating, ‘If our votes are falling, the responsibility is not with the people of Gaziantep, the responsibility is ours, the mistake is ours.’ He emphasized the need for the party to engage more deeply with the public and reiterated his call for a ‘Law on Morality in Politics’. Regarding the political landscape, Kılıçdaroğlu stated that the CHP would not object to a proposal for early elections, suggesting Turkey should move toward a more democratic structure as soon as possible.
