“We have noticed that the internal developments in our party divert attention from what we have been elected as representatives of the people, which is to express the voice of our voters and defend the interests of the people in our municipalities and provinces.” As representatives of the local population, we are the ears and eyes of our party and, therefore, we believe that we must make a joint appeal, ”the letter says. “It seems to us that as thinkers we can meet on June 6 at a membership meeting. We want to avoid that at all costs. “
Local party leaders call on the party board to make a big gesture in the party’s interest and to step down immediately so that an independent interim board can be appointed.
The letter was signed by the leaders of the Think group in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Enschede, Zaanstad, Amersfoort, Deventer, Schiedam, South Holland and Flevoland and by the youth movement.
Fraternal murder
Earlier this week, the resignation faction leader, Kuzu, was fired for being accused of an extramarital affair in which he had pushed the limits of appropriateness. It was the reason why he was deprived of the party presidency, the party board reported. Öztürk was, therefore, a “seamstress” who committed “fratricide” and “sabotage” simply to lift Kuzu’s leg, the latter claimed.
The new faction leader, Azarkan, responded to this: He also stated that Denk’s party board should resign “in the interest of the party.” However, the board refuses.

Mediate
On Friday, the board sent a message to members. He wants to name “independent people to support the board in the near future and mediate with the people involved,” says an email. Selçuk Öztürk was also arguing with various investigative agencies to carry out an independent investigation.
“The actions of our three MPs that led to this situation will be broadly included in this investigation.” But that is unacceptable to local politicians, as long as Selçuk Öztürk rules the board, it turns out.
“We understand that it is difficult to ask this of people who have given heart and soul to build our movement. People with whom we are indebted for what they have done for our party. We are convinced that this is necessary for the future of our party. As a young party, we are experiencing accelerated growth that will finally lead us to our biggest, strongest, and most united task. We request that at the general meeting scheduled for June 6, an official board be appointed to independently build the future of our movement, “write local politicians.
Selçuk Öztürk was not available for comment on Friday.
