I declare this belief and determination to the 16 million people of Istanbul, in particular, that our belief and determination have continued more than twice as long as we started on the first day. I will continue to say everywhere that it is necessary to demand a new generation of politics and a new generation of understanding.

I WANT THE PARTISANITY APPROACH TO END

Referring to the debates in the parliament, İmamoğlu continued as follows: “In the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, where I work, no bureaucrat, no fellow traveler, no political friend gives instructions. It cannot and cannot be involved in any of the stages of the management of the process. It controls politically, has the right to control. Inquiries have the right to question, and they also have a place. This is the political culture we come from. I want the understanding of partisanship to end. If I see this understanding in my party, I will fight it. I promise you that none of my political companions - including our alliance party - will never, ever be involved in such processes. I will not allow that either.”
