We will take back all our municipalities that have been appointed trustees. We will make the leaves of this tree grow. Elections are the time to show our will and raise the struggle together. We are united, we are together, we will change things together."
'Nothing is impossible'
Ali Özkan said: “We want to get rid of the AKP-MHP fascism, which has kept this country in darkness for 20 years. We want to enter the parliament with 100 deputies. We want to enter Ankara with 3 deputies from the 1st constituency. Nothing is impossible.”
Ercan Sadık İpekçi said that he is also a journalist and that he has journalist colleagues in prisons. “My colleagues were arrested because they were covering news.

We will liberate all imprisoned politicians and colleagues.”
