Following President
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's significant electoral victory, a wave of animosity engulfed social media platforms.
In addition to the reprehensible remarks directed at earthquake victims, the involvement of
Tuba Gelincik Dinçer, the spouse of CHP mayor
Enver Salih Dinçer, further exacerbated the scandal as she expressed the statement, "Atatürk saved the wrong nation."
The substantial
margin of victory achieved by President Erdoğan in the initial round of the
elections has caused unease among CHP members.
Among those who resorted to scandalous language, Tuba Gelincik Dinçer, the wife of Enver Salih Dinçer, the CHP Chairman of the Çine Municipality, is noteworthy.
Dinçer's
disturbing comments included remarks such as, "What I glean from this election is that our
retirees considered 15 thousand TL as too much, our
earthquake survivors neglected their screaming loved ones and enjoyed living in tents, our citizens were satisfied with meager provisions, and our youth displayed
indifference towards their future. They deserved their present circumstances. What else can I say?
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk saved the wrong nation."
After facing backlash and
widespread criticism, Dinçer retracted her
scandalous statement and removed the contentious post from public view.
