ANKARA – As HDP Co-Chair Pervin Buldan shared her condolences for the deceased citizens due to the Elazığ earthquake, she states that AKP Chair Tayyip Erdoğan shows off on the wreck site: “Everybody saw that they reduced themselves as to gather politics out of wrecks. He restrained the aids to reach the public. This is the point where words fail.”

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Pervin Buldan has spoken in her party’s group meeting.

POLITICAL POWER RESTRAINED THE AID TO REACH THE PUBLIC

In the face all the troubles our people have been facing due to the earthquake our 27 municipalities, city and district organizations are immediately mobilized to supply our people with accommodation, hot dish, bread, children and women needs being in the first place. However, the political power who is afraid of the social solidarity blocked our efforts and all the aid to reach the public. Our vehicles carrying the aid supplies were stopped by the order of Interior Affairs Ministry and sent back. State has officially prevented people to reach their hands to the earthquake victims. This is the point where words fail. This portrait is a shame for humanity.

THEY REDUCED THEMSELVES AS TO GATHER POLITICS OUT OF WRECKS

It was such a show that our people who had been just rescued from under the wrecks were carried to the site where AKP Co-Chair was visiting rather than to be immediately taken to the hospital. Such a perspective that AKP Co-Chair has visited Elazığ so that people should be carried to his feet is just a portrait of shame. This is such a shame and we protest this case fiercely.  Everybody saw that they reduced themselves as to gather politics out of wrecks. We have witnessed that the TV channels of the political power have forced people in great misery to speak of their happiness. People continues to get in and to live in their houses  under risk which are almost about to collapse. Because they are desperate. They have nowhere else to go. They made people poor, unemployed and desperate.

WE WILL BE ORGANISED NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD

We will definitely make sure that peoples of Turkey will meet with democracy as we work day and night and be organized neighborhood by neighborhood in the upcoming period. HDP will be everywhere where the people’s and democracy’s heart pulses. We will expand and we will grow. We will be the voice of anybody and everybody who has any objection to rise. In the new period, we will bring such a party in existence that focuses itself to change the visage of the politics and the political power itself. Believe in us that days full of light and beauty is ahead of us. As before, we will use all the potential that the democratic politics offers to let the democracy, equality, justice and peace to grow and bloom in these territories.
