CHP opposition to government systems and economic issues

The Republican People's Party (CHP) has intensified its criticism of the Turkish government, citing a management crisis across political, economic, and legal sectors. The party has called for a transition from the current Presidential Government System to an ‘Enhanced Parliamentary System’ to restore the separation of powers.

Regarding labor rights, CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has pledged legislative action to support internship and apprenticeship victims. Following a meeting with representatives from various victim associations, Kılıçdaroğlu announced that the party will prepare a research motion for the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) and a subsequent legislative proposal. The victims are seeking to have their internship and apprenticeship insurance periods recognized as their official 4A social security start dates, a struggle they claim has persisted for nearly 40 years. Kılıçdaroğlu stated, “We will be your spokespersons in the TBMM,” and requested that victims provide data on workplace accidents and individual struggles to inform the motion.

In the economic sphere, the CHP continues to pursue inquiries into financial irregularities. Istanbul Deputy Yüksel Mansur Kılınç has submitted a research motion and formal questions to the TBMM regarding a suspected fund scandal. Kılınç raised concerns involving potential money laundering and market manipulation, specifically calling for investigations into high-value financial transfers and the oversight role of the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK).
