Erdogan-Imamoglu politics ahead of Turkey’s municipal elections over piles of money and suspicions of bribery.

“Erdogan understood that he will lose the elections” said the mayor of Konstantinoupoulis, Ekrem Imamoglou.

“The mayor of Istanbul is in the news only for the piles of money,” said the Turkish president, as reported by Manolis Kostidis.

Imamoglou: “He understood that he would lose the elections. Thus began the lies and conspiracies.

Erdogan: “When you ask them, they say that with this money a building was bought for their party. But no one can explain anything. The amount in circulation is disproportionate to what was paid. The metropolitan municipality of Istanbul does not come into the news with its projects and its achievements, but with the stacks of banknotes that are in circulation.”

Imamoglou: “They have hopes with edited images, with conspiracies and provocations. If you want, write letters, if you want, edit, if you want to go to Hollywood to shoot a movie. But you can’t fool these people.”

“He works day and night. Neither threats nor trials stop him. Imamoglou is constantly working. See Imamoglou takes courage from the past and works for the future” says the song.

Imamoglou: The road is long, our anxiety at the top. We have the youth, our youth. We are the youth of Turkey who thirst for justice and believe in democracy.

Imamoglu’s opponent responds with a video clip that Erdogan can hear!

Kurum’s song

“At every step, in every alley, he is always by your side. He is by your side every moment.”

Erdogan: “We feel honored to be serving this beloved people and to work with love for this people of ours. In our logic there is no partisanship, differentiation, we did not come to be the masters of the people but the servants of the people”.
