Visiting the “International Socialist Youth Organizations” tent, the CHP urged young people to be more determined in the “struggle for society.” 

“Do not wait for someone else to open up space for you. Fight for yourself. Your struggle will be a struggle for this society. Your struggle will be a struggle for democracy,” Kılıçdaroğlu reportedly said during the visit.
