POST FROM IMAMOĞLU: "HE WILL GO TO THE HOUSE OF POWER IN THE FIRST ELECTION AND..."

Since access to his social media account was banned, IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu, who shared a post from the account called ' Presidential Candidate Office', gave the message that the crime of 'Insulting the President' will be eliminated during his term. İmamoğlu said, "This government will go home in the first election and there will be no such crime as 'Insulting the President'. The mindset that always wants sycophants around it will go away, and an understanding that favors freedoms will come."

İmamoğlu's post is as follows;

"In the first election, this government will go home and there will be no such crime as 'Insulting the President.'

Being in power means being criticized. When we take office, we will put an end to this oddity. No one will be unjustly detained, arrested or imprisoned for sharing something or exercising their democratic right to protest. The mindset that always wants sycophants around them will go away and an understanding that favors freedoms will come.

Do not be afraid of the young, be afraid of the sycophants around you.

"Ekrem İmamoğlu"

In the first election, this government will go home and there will be no such crime as "Insulting the President".

Being in power means being criticized. When we take office, we will put an end to this oddity. No one should be unjustly detained for sharing something or exercising their democratic right to protest.
