Pervin Buldan, Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and a member of the DEM Party İmralı Delegation, said in a statement to ANKA after voting at her party’s 5th Ordinary Congress that they had entered a new “period of construction.” Stating that Türkiye needs social peace, Buldan said they would work together with the peoples of Türkiye to make peace permanent. Noting that the new stages ahead must proceed without crises or setbacks, Buldan said they would build together the peace process that society deserves. Buldan said the party would begin working on this process, announcing that another congress would be held within a few months and that a new movement would be built under the name “Democratic Republic Movement.”
Why it matters
The statement shows that the DEM Party does not view its current political efforts merely as a period completed with the congress, but is seeking a new organizational and political framework. This direction brings to the fore the question of which methods and actors the party will use to advance its goal of social peace. The new congress, which is expected to be held within a few months, is significant as a stage that will clarify the announced Democratic Republic Movement’s relationship with the party and how this structure will take shape. Buldan’s emphasis on proceeding without crises or setbacks also shows that the process is tied not only to political goals but also to the stability of the path to be followed. However, the statement does not include specific areas of work or a timetable for this new period.
