The statement notably accused Sarıbal of being a "collaborator of the palace administration," asserting that "being directly or indirectly part of the palace administration's attacks is undoubtedly collaboration; there is no explanation, excuse, or acceptability for it." Halkevleri argued that the recent court decisions, trustee appointments, and the "absolute nullity" ruling against the CHP are part of a broader plan to leave the public disorganized, defenseless, and without political options.

The only option, the only way is the people's resistance and rebellion.

Halkevleri believes the government aims to create a controlled opposition, one whose boundaries are set by "rulers" and which is preoccupied with internal matters rather than the ruling power. The organization concluded its statement by asserting that "the only option, the only way is the people's resistance and rebellion." They added, "This people will take their destiny into their own hands and pave the way for salvation. Because the people are greater than the palace."
