Özel's tearing video revealed as staged

A video circulating online appears to show Özgür Özel, the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), tearing up a document related to an "absolute nullity" decision. The incident occurred after an intervention at the CHP headquarters concerning party members who did not recognize the decision. Özel reportedly expressed his dismay, stating, "They destroyed the paternal home for this," before tearing the document.

However, the report claims the reality behind the widely circulated video is different. According to the article, footage indicates that Özel first read the document thoroughly. Subsequently, he staged the tearing of the document while ensuring it was filmed, creating the impression that he had torn it without reading it.

This staged act, the article suggests, was intended to portray a specific image or narrative to the public. The report implies that Özel's actions were a performance designed to elicit a particular reaction or interpretation regarding the internal party dispute and the "absolute nullity" decision.
