In a recent session of the İzmir Menderes Belediye Meclisi, tensions arose within the CHP group as six council members voted against the party’s decision, resulting in the rejection of two proposals. The CHP İl Başkanı Şenol Aslanoğlu, who attended the group meeting before the council session, expressed his frustration at the actions of these members and announced that disciplinary action would be taken against them.
The discord within the CHP group in the Menderes Belediye Meclisi became evident when six council members went against the party’s stance and voted alongside AK Party members to reject two proposals. Despite the proposals receiving 12 in favor votes, the combined negative votes of AK Party and the dissenting CHP members led to their rejection with a total of 19 votes. This turn of events angered İl Başkanı Aslanoğlu, who stated that a review would be conducted with the General Headquarters to determine the next steps regarding the matter.
Aslanoğlu expressed his disappointment at the lack of unity among the CHP council members during the meeting in Menderes. He highlighted a specific instance where a proposal to allocate 75,000 TL to a sports club owned by the municipality was met with opposition from some members who voted against it. Aslanoğlu questioned the rationale behind opposing such funding, emphasizing the importance of supporting initiatives that benefit the community. He cited an example of a village cafe operated by a municipal company facing financial losses, yet emphasized the need for social responsibility in providing services to the community.
The failure to reach consensus among the CHP members on critical issues prompted Aslanoğlu to initiate disciplinary proceedings against those who deviated from the group’s decision. He emphasized the importance of adhering to group decisions and expressed his intention to address the issue internally before consulting with the party’s leadership for further action.
