Özgür Özel, the leader of the newly formed YENİ Party, has declared that the party's technical establishment is finalized, marking the commencement of its core political activities. "The real work is starting now," Özel stated, signaling a shift from organizational setup to public engagement.
The party's roadmap includes a comprehensive tour across Anatolia and Rumelia, regions significant to Turkey's demographic and historical landscape. "We will be in every corner of Anatolia and Rumelia with the people," Özel announced, emphasizing a commitment to grassroots connection. This initiative, described as the second phase of the party's formation, aims to directly engage with citizens and understand their concerns.
The real work is starting now. Now, political establishment will happen in Anatolia with the people. We will be in every corner of Anatolia and Rumelia with the deputies.
Özel articulated a clear critique of the current administration, asserting that "the government has become detached from the people." In contrast, the YENİ Party positions itself as a movement to "embrace the people." This strategy underscores the party's intention to rebuild trust and reconnect with the electorate by being physically present and actively listening to public sentiment across diverse regions.
The government has become detached from the people, we will embrace the people.
