In my meeting with Özgür Özel, I clearly felt his confident stance. This confidence is not something that can be gained merely through survey results.

Özel is determined to continue the fight against an autocratic regime. After March 19, he referred to this regime as a 'coup' and 'junta'. He does not step back despite all the attacks from the government.

He emphasizes the importance of opposition from different backgrounds standing together in the streets. The goal is to reach a parliamentary democratic system where all opposition forces can compete fairly.

He is also clear about walking alongside the Kurdish political movement. He states that a common ground based on democracy, freedom, and justice is essential.

Özgür Özel's confidence in this process reinforces his leadership qualities. He emphasizes the need to unite around the values of CHP.
