In his evaluations regarding the agenda, Özgür Özel, the elected leader of the CHP, said, "CHP can be a great alternative if it gets out of this situation and establishes a separate party. I hear these types of words against it both inside and outside: 'If they establish another party, their immunities will be lifted and they will be prosecuted.' This is a blackmail that suggests we exchange our country for our freedom. I have never surrendered to any blackmail so far."
