Council of State Member Demands Justice for Son Lost in Bolu Hotel Fire

Abdurrahman Gençbay, a member of Turkey's Council of State, has voiced a powerful plea for justice following the tragic loss of his 24-year-old son in the Grand Kartal Hotel fire in Bolu. Gençbay is participating in the "Justice March for 78 Lives," a movement demanding accountability for those who perished in the devastating blaze.

Gençbay directed sharp criticism at certain public officials, whom he accuses of shielding those responsible for the fire. "Here, by protecting some public officials within the state, we are raising a strong voice to remove these public officials who damage the state's reputation in the eyes of the citizen from within the state," he stated, emphasizing his belief that such actions undermine public trust.

The march and Gençbay's public statements highlight a deep-seated frustration with perceived impunity and a demand for transparency and accountability from state institutions. The call is not just for individual punishment but for a systemic cleansing of corruption that tarnishes the state's image and fails its citizens.
