Before the Eid greetings meetings to be held on May 30 at CHP, a striking claim about the rally to be organized by Özgür Özel at Güvenpark came to the agenda. Fatih Atik, TGRT Ankara Representative known for his closeness to the government, alleged that the Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu administration, appointed to the CHP Chairmanship by court decision, applied to the Ankara Governorship to cancel the rally.
According to the claim conveyed by Atik, the Kılıçdaroğlu administration saw the organization to be held by Özel and his team as unauthorized by the general headquarters. Within this framework, it was argued that the rally was of a pirate nature and that official notification was made to the Ankara Governorship and Ankara Police Department. According to the claim, the party administration took a stance against allowing the organization.
The said claim quickly became an agenda due to authority disputes and different programs within CHP. While Atik also announced the development on his social media account, the question of whether the meeting at Güvenpark was held with the knowledge and instruction of the party administration was at the center of the news.
However, Kılıçdaroğlu's side denied the claim. In the statement, it was stated that the CHP administration did not apply to the Ankara Governorship to ban the rally to be held at Güvenpark. The statement conveyed that the Governorship only asked whether the calls for marches across the province by various district organizations were made under the instructions of the CHP administration.
According to the statement, the CHP Headquarters informed the Governorship that there was no such call. The Kılıçdaroğlu side emphasized that no request or official application was made to ban the rally and stated that this aspect of the claim was not true.
Therefore, the headline at the center of the news became the denial given to this claim rather than the claim that the application was made. Since there is no additional document independently confirming the application claim in the source text, the news should be evaluated as political content requiring verification and editorial review before publication.
