A harsh message from Kılıçdaroğlu to Uğur Dündar

Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has strongly denied the recent reports about various allegations attributed to him regarding the CHP and reacted to journalist Uğur Dündar.

In a statement on social media, Kılıçdaroğlu stated that the news spread by citing "a figure close to Kılıçdaroğlu" as a source was completely untrue. He also harshly criticized Uğur Dündar's comment, "So, the CHP is on the right track," regarding posts claiming the CHP was "distanced from the people and their problems."

Kılıçdaroğlu's social media post is as follows:

While our country is grappling with deep crises in every aspect of life and politics, it is wrong to create baseless rumors about me, to make people forget their real problems, and to divert attention elsewhere.

I certainly exonerate the esteemed and honorable journalists who practice the sacred profession of journalism. However, it is my duty to also speak out against the disgrace of those incorrigibly ambitious individuals so blinded by evil that they declare, "So, the CHP is on the right track!"—simply for the sake of turning a sentence I didn't say into a smear campaign.

I don't want to offend anyone or deny anything. However, valued members of the press and journalists should know that I don't have anyone close to me who I talk to about national agendas and politics to convey to the press, nor do I have that style. Please disregard any rumors about me, other than those I share and interviews I give.
