The Free Cause Party had to close their election campaign stand in Trabzon yesterday following the reactions. The party opened a stand today on the same avenue, and there was again tension between the Hüda-Par members and some citizens.

Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu, who will be running for MP on the AKP list in İstanbul's 3rd electoral district, and his Free Cause Party are opposing Law No. 6284 on eliminating violence against women, while Zengin had recently stood up defending the law.

Critics link HÜDA PAR, which recently announced support for President Erdoğan, to the Kurdish Hizbullah, which perpetrated hundreds of targeted killings in the 1990s. The party denies the accusations.

The president invited the HÜDA PAR to his ruling alliance. The opposition questioned his motives given the party's negligible public support and linked the party to Hizbullah, an armed group responsible for the killing of hundreds of people, including journalists and politicians, in the 1990s.
