While Özgür Özel, who announced his candidacy for the presidency, was speaking at the CHP Izmir Provincial Congress, slogans in favor of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu started to be chanted. Özel said, “Süleyman Soylu could not silence me. The one who gave this instruction cannot silence me either.”.
As the slogans continued, the same group kept chanting “Izmir is here, next to Mr. Kemal”. Özel said, “We are with Mr. Kemal. We have always been with him and we will always be with him. Don't have any doubt,” he replied.
“Süleyman Soylu couldn't silence me”
When the slogans continued, Özel said: “Young people, whoever said ‘Do this’, don't do it. You cannot prevent me from speaking. It does not befit CHP members. Süleyman Soylu could not silence me. The one who gave this instruction cannot silence me either.”
Özel then concluded his speech amid slogans.
