CHP Deputy Güler to receive disciplinary action for slamming Gülenist alliance


One of the deputies who harshly criticized the Republican People's Party (CHP) due to a claimed alliance with the Gülen Movement, İzmir Deputy Birgül Ayman Güler is about to receive disciplinary action. Güler's situation is expected to be evaluated at today's CHP caucus with a decision made to decide whether she will be referred to the disciplinary committee. Before this case, former Eskişehir deputy, Süheyl Batum, had also been referred to the disciplinary committee with a decision made by the Central Executive Board. There were debates at the time regarding this action being against the party code. This time, it is suggested that the central executive of the party plans to initiate the disciplinary procedure for Güler through the caucus. Güler accused the party of forming an alliance with the Gülen Movement during the March 30 local elections when they cooperated with different components of the movement in provinces and districts. She had said that the alliance with the Gülen Movement must be questioned. "Despite the party administration's denials, the CHP cooperated with the Gülen Movement during the March 30 local elections," Güler said.Meanwhile, in a speech at the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) Ankara Provincial Congress held on Sunday, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu touched on the conflict in the CHP. "While we are cementing the concept of democracy and freedoms, the CHP is in the mind of tutelage with the parallel structure. One CHP deputy said, 'We made a big mistake by cooperating with the parallel structure.' Here is the confession and the portrait," he said and called CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu "to admit with whom they made an alliance, with whom they stand shoulder to shoulder and made a plan for tutelage" before the March 30 local elections.
