NEWS CENTER – Journalist Hasan Cemal, the Green Left Party Istanbul MP candidate, said that he has closed his 54-year journalism life.

 

Journalist-writer Hasan Cemal, who is a candidate for the Greens and Left Future Party (Green Left Party) Istanbul 2nd Region 3rd place MP, stated that he has closed his 54-year journalism life. In an article he wrote for T24 with the title, he said: "A new beginning in life, I am closing my 54-year journalism life to take responsibility personally."

 

Part of Cemal's article is as follows: "Today, all the strings of power are in the hands of the "one man" in the Palace. That's why the name of the regime is "one man regime..." In the old days, Turkey lived in military coups that came with "tank sounds" in the morning. Today, we live in a "civil coup order" that comes out of the "ballot box" but suspends democracy and the rule of law. Turkey must break its chains! For this, the first step is to remove the "only man", Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, from power by popular vote on May 14.

 

And then it is to start walking on the path of peace, democracy and justice in Turkey. That's why I accepted the parliamentary offer from HDP and became a candidate for Istanbul 2nd Region 3rd place in the Green Left Party list. Thus, I end my journalism, which I have been loving for 54 years, albeit with pity. Now I want to play a role in breaking Turkey's chains by directly taking responsibility. If I'm elected, I will return to Ankara, where I started journalism, after 54 years, this time as a politician.

 

It is entering a period where those who support peace, democracy, justice and freedom will write and make history shoulder to shoulder. Türkiye is in its 100th year, a period when earthquakes do not turn into a terrible disaster, when we will crown the Republic with democracy and establish a democratic republic... I am very excited. But first, on May 14, he said to Erdogan, "Come on, goodbye to you!" i have to say. This corrupt system is not the destiny of Turkey.”
