Ekrem Imamoglu: ‘Our Nation is Under Siege, We Will Defeat Tyranny’

Despite being under detention, Ekrem Imamoglu addressed the conference of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), delivering a message of unity and resistance against the oppressive regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. From prison, Imamoglu emphasized that ‘our nation is under siege by an oppressive government that disregards the law and justice, viewing itself as the owner of the state.’ He further stated that Erdogan’s government does not want any opposition candidates or fair elections. ‘No matter what they do, we will succeed! We will overcome injustice and tyranny. Together, we will build the power of freedom, equality, and fraternity,’ he declared. In his detailed message on social media, Imamoglu highlighted that the nation is enduring a severe siege by a government that ignores democracy and seeks to maintain its one-man rule, dragging the country into ruin across all sectors. However, he assured that no oppressive system can withstand the will of the people. The CHP conferences have historically symbolized this dignity and determination, and Imamoglu expressed confidence in the party’s ability to fulfill its national duty with dedication and resolve.
