  • Çağatay Güç has been appointed as the founding provincial chairman of the NEW PARTY in İzmir, Turkey.
  • Güç emphasized the party's commitment to a new political understanding focused on the people and addressing the needs of the oppressed.
  • He highlighted İzmir's historical significance and democratic values as a foundation for the party's growth in the city.

Çağatay Güç, newly appointed as the founding provincial chairman of the YENİ Parti (NEW PARTY) in İzmir, has declared the city will be a vanguard in leading the party to power. Güç stated that he and the founding cadres view their responsibilities as a promise to the people, aiming to foster a new political understanding within İzmir.

Under the leadership of YENİ Parti Chairman Özgür Özel, Güç pledged to work for a better Turkey by engaging directly with the public and being present on the streets. He asserted that the party intends to empower the oppressed and marginalized segments of society, helping them rise again with renewed strength.

"Our duty is to protect the hope of the youth," Güç stated, framing their roles not as mere positions but as commitments. He emphasized the importance of being alongside citizens, listening to shopkeepers' concerns, supporting young people's aspirations, amplifying women's struggles, and working for the future of children. The ultimate goal, he added, is to help all segments of the oppressed and victimized population in Turkey regain their strength through the YENİ Parti's rise to power.

Güç further elaborated on İzmir's unique role, calling it a city of "salvation and foundation," a pioneer in democratic culture, freedom, solidarity, and Republican values. He also recognized İzmir as a hub for industry, tourism, and the economy. The YENİ Parti, he believes, will implement a clean, ethical, honest, and diligent approach to politics in this significant city. The party's greatest strength, he concluded, lies in the public's trust, and their primary objective is to rekindle hope across Turkey and build a nation where children can look to the future with confidence.

İzmir sıradan bir şehir değildir. İzmir, kurtuluşun ve kuruluşun şehridir. Demokrasi kültürünün, özgürlüğün, dayanışmanın ve Cumhuriyet değerlerinin öncü kentidir.
