Survey: 95 pct of CHP voters favor lifting deputies' immunities
An overwhelming majority of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) voters support the draft for lifting the immunities of parliamentary deputies, a survey conducted last month by the A&G research company revealed.
Speaking to A Haber late Wednesday, company chairman Adil Gür said that when participants, who were grouped according to their voting preferences, were asked whether the parliamentary immunities of deputies should be removed, 95 percent of the CHP voters declared that they should.
He said, "23.5 percent of them said all [pro-Kurdish] Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputies' immunities should be lifted, while 21.9 percent of them said only terror-linked HDP deputies should be deprived of having parliamentary immunity and 49.1 percent said those immunities should be removed for all deputies against whom summary proceedings were prepared. Altogether, almost 95 percent of the CHP supporters supported some form of lifting the immunities of the deputies."
