DEM Party Criticizes Kılıçdaroğlu Over Demirtaş Immunity Vote

DEM Party Co-Chair Tülay Hatimoğulları has sharply criticized Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the newly appointed leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), for his stance on the lifting of immunity for former Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş.

“

I watched Kılıçdaroğlu. We would openly expect him to apologize.

Hatimoğlulları expressed disappointment that Kılıçdaroğlu does not regret his "yes" vote on the decision to remove Demirtaş's parliamentary immunity. Speaking on Halk TV, Hatimoğlulları stated that the DEM Party expects an apology from Kılıçdaroğlu. "I watched Kılıçdaroğlu. We would openly expect him to apologize," she said.

"To say 'I was wrong, I was misled' is a virtue. He is still defending it. We do not accept this. The logic that appointed the nullity today is the same logic that arrested our friends on that day," Hatimoğlulları asserted. She questioned how Kılıçdaroğlu could advocate for the removal of immunity while knowing the judiciary is used as a "stick" by the ruling party.

"What ideal are you talking about there? It was so obvious that after these immunities were lifted, it was as clear as day that our friends Figen Yüksekdağ, Selahattin Demirtaş, our MYK members, our elected officials, our deputies would be arrested. It was clear, it was definite," she added, emphasizing the predictable consequences of the decision.
