Those who insulted Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for years, made him a target, and disregarded the organization’s efforts are now buried under the rubble of the system they themselves created.
The value of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu—who kept the CHP afloat for 13 years despite all the attacks from the ruling party, became the hope of millions through the March for Justice, and laid the social groundwork to make the party Turkey’s leading party—is now more clearly understood.
“The process carried out under the name of ”Change” has, unfortunately, divided the party rather than uniting it, and has left the organization at the mercy of a small clique rather than strengthening it.
Now is the time to face the facts.
The CHP is not the party of those who pursue personal gain, those who calculate their political careers, or those who disregard the party’s grassroots members; it is the party of the millions who are committed to the values of the Republic.
The "purification" that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has spoken of does not refer to individuals; rather, it means ridding the party of arrogance, disloyalty, a mindset that devalues the organization, and a political style that harms the CHP’s institutional identity.
What is needed today is not a new conflict, but a return to the party’s core values.
Because history has shown that;
It is not those who build up the CHP, but those who try to build themselves up at the CHP’s expense who are doomed to fail.
And let it not be forgotten:
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is not just a person’s name; he is the political memory of loyalty, patience, struggle, and commitment to the organization.
The cleansing has begun. This is not a reckoning—it is time for the truth to come to light.
