CHP Germany Federation President Özgür Uçma emphasized in a written statement that they will resolutely maintain their loyalty to the Republican People's Party's institutional identity, the values of the Republic founded by Atatürk, democracy, freedom, and social justice.

The Republican People's Party Germany Federation issued a notable statement following recent political and legal debates within the CHP and new political formations. The statement, signed by CHP Germany Federation President Özgür Uçma, noted that the federation's political stance is based on CHP's institutional identity and founding values, independent of individuals, positions, and temporary political developments.

The statement indicated that the CHP Germany Federation, as the umbrella organization for CHP associations and organizations operating in Germany, continues its work in line with the Republican People's Party's founding principles, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's intellectual legacy, and the Republic's founding values.

“CHP is not merely a political party”

The federation's statement emphasized that the Republican People's Party is not seen merely as a political party, but as the historical bearer of independence, the Republic, democracy, secularism, social justice, and popular sovereignty.

Therefore, it was noted that the foundation of the CHP Germany Federation's political stance is formed by the Republican People's Party's institutional identity and founding values, not by individuals, positions, or temporary political balances.

“Our loyalty is not to individuals, but to CHP's institutional identity”

The statement, which also touched upon recent developments within the CHP and the formation of new parties, stated that different political preferences and new formations are a natural part of democratic politics.

However, it was emphasized that it is not right for individuals who were part of the same struggle in the past to use harsh expressions against each other and to devalue the struggle carried out together for years.

The statement included the following view:

“Our loyalty is not to individuals, but to the Republican People's Party's institutional identity.”

The CHP Germany Federation announced that, beyond taking sides with or against any individual in the ongoing debates, it advocates a political understanding committed to principles and institutional structure.

“Political struggle must be conducted within organizational discipline”

While the statement noted that it is natural for parties to have different views, demands for change, and criticisms, it emphasized that the political struggle should primarily be conducted within the party's own institutional structure, within the framework of democratic politics and organizational discipline.

The CHP Germany Federation also stated that they oppose the demonization of people who worked together in the same squares, election campaigns, and organizational activities in the past, against each other today.

Organization and struggle in Germany will continue

The CHP Germany Federation stated that they will continue to defend the demands of citizens living in Germany for a democratic, secular, social state of law, and freedom.

The statement also noted that they will continue to promote CHP's values in Germany, strengthen organizations, and expand activities within the federation. The federation emphasized that what truly matters is the future of Turkey, not personal political differences.

Özgür Uçma: “We will maintain our commitment to our principles”

CHP Germany Federation President Özgür Uçma stated at the end of the declaration that, together with members and comrades-in-arms, they will continue to remain loyal to the values of the Republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

The statement included the following expressions:

“As the Republican People's Party Germany Federation, together with our members and comrades-in-arms, we will maintain our loyalty to the values of the Republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, to democracy, freedom, social justice, and to the Republican People's Party's institutional identity.”

The statement concluded with the message, “With our principles, our organization, with the Republican People's Party, towards the future.”
