Kılıçdaroğlu's 45-year companion Bülent Kuşoğlu makes a striking statement: 'State intelligence is plotting something'

Bülent Kuşoğlu, who has been a close associate of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for 45 years, has made notable statements regarding the ongoing political situation within the Republican People's Party (CHP) following a court decision on "absolute nullity."

We haven't had a movement together for quite some time.

Kuşoğlu, a former Deputy Chairman of the CHP and a figure with a background in the Ministry of Finance, served as Kılıçdaroğlu's deputy when he led the Social Insurance Institution. He acknowledged that while they worked together for many years, their political teams and perspectives sometimes differed. "We haven't had a movement together for quite some time," Kuşoğlu stated, referring to the current period. He noted that the recent court decision was not initiated by them but resulted from a process where Kılıçdaroğlu did not attend a court hearing he was summoned to.

Addressing the current state of the CHP's leadership, Kuşoğlu explained that a formal party meeting cannot be convened because the legal determination of who has left the party and who are their replacements is pending. "No one is currently in charge except Kemal Bey. Not even payments can be made right now; nothing can be signed," he said, indicating a paralysis in the party's administrative functions. He stressed the need for the party, as an institution, to resolve these internal legal and administrative matters.

Responding to the view that a significant portion of CHP voters believe Kılıçdaroğlu is no longer serving the "regime," Kuşoğlu shifted focus to the broader national context. He asserted that Turkey is navigating a very critical period, stating, "We are in a very difficult period; the classic logic of politics has ended." He implied that the country's stability and future require a different approach than traditional political maneuvering.
