Gürsel Tekin Resigned from CHP

Former CHP Secretary General and Istanbul Deputy Gürsel Tekin announced that he resigned from CHP with a post on his social media account.

In his post, Gürsel Tekin said, “The basic principles of the Republican People's Party are included in its statute and program. Unfortunately, in the past time, CHP has been distanced from its identity as a Ataturkist and social democratic party that aims at modern civilization, being in power in Turkey and serving the people. It has no objective conditions, merit and competence, and it has internal relations within the party such as compatriotism, grouping, teamwork and position and position. positions were distributed, people who worked hard for the party and for the party to come to power were excluded, the power struggle within the party was preferred instead of the struggle for power in Turkey, the party law and the rights of our party workers were ignored, the Headquarters did not even comply with the rules and instructions announced by itself, party law and It has become a structure in which the efforts of people who work hard by relying on their statements are usurped, and in which the relations of friends and sergeants, spouses, friends and relatives are decisive at every level, instead of the spirit of comradeship formed by ideology, principle or thought.” he said.

Gürsel Tekin, who stated that the situation that emerged as someone who had the honor of serving in every position of the party and who always worked on the streets and among the people to come to power in Turkey, was painful and saddening for him, said: “For this reason, I have devoted my life to the principles I have sealed in my heart since my youth. I am resigning from the Republican People's Party with great sadness because the principles I believe in and live by dictate this and I no longer have the opportunity to work in the current structure. I will continue to work for the principles for which I devoted my life. “I respectfully announce it to the public.” said..
