Deniz Yavuzyılmaz, a member of the YENİ Party representing Zonguldak, has declared her intention to vote against a piece of legislation referred to as the "framework law."

The parliamentary discussions for the "framework law" commenced on August 10. As deliberations were ongoing, Yavuzyılmaz took to her social media account to publicly announce her opposition. She stated, "My vote regarding the Framework Law, which is being discussed in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey today, will be 'no.'"
