If the left, social democrats have a maximum vote of 5 percent, 10, 20, 30, etc., these do not change our stance. Do we skip wild neoliberalism or forgive the gang of five just to look cute? No, we will fight to the bitter end against neoliberalism. CHP is a struggle party. It exists to fight delinquent gangs. I never take a step back in fighting them, I never stop. It was learned that I do not think of accepting the order that neoliberalism and their native patrons regard our people in order to look cute to someone.”
