Corrupt establishment and it's elites has ruled over our Jakania for decades. We are here today, because we want to change it. We are here today, becaue we are the change, and we want to break the system, and we will do it, with your help!", - said BS Leader Safiye Kartal on protests.
Leaked e-mails of Prime Minister Zekeriya Yüce that was uploaded under the name of "Zekeriya's Box" reveals many instances of abuse of power. According to one of those, KHP Regional Deputy Leader of Sonat Yeşim Ergeçer received 79,510 JAK for her study on the placement of street signs. After emails were leaked, people took over the streets in Dokuz and İmir demanding for PM Yüce to resign, and call for a snap elections. Later, BS Leader Kartal joined the protests, alongside her colleagues from Assembly. Protesters marched through Dokuz, stopping near most governmental buildings, asking for government resignation, or at least internal pressure on Yüce to make him resign, as one of the protesters told us.
While protesting, Kartal announced cooperation with various organizations, such as civil rights groups, environmentalist groups, economists, workers unions to create a new election Manifesto 5125, that will "lead BS to the victories with peoples help", said BS chairman Önder Yağmur. Manifesto will address corruption in government, regional authonomy, civil and workers rights, that were heavily oppressed by "party of the elites" KHP in their decades-long governing. According to BS members, party officials are serious about next elections, and will do anything to win it.
When day was about to end, Kartal announced yet another suprise to public: her leadership is going to the end. Safiye Kartal said she won't go a re-election as United Left Leader on the next Congress in November next year. 20 of years of her leadership made BS a major political force opposition conservative rule of KHP, now many discuss future of the party, and possible candidates to succeed Kartal.
