Following a Kurdish rally in Turkey, the head of the local branch of the Islamist New Welfare Party ordered the area to be cleaned with vinegar and Arabic soap for forty days, claiming it was the only way to "purify" the space. This action prompted a racism complaint from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party. The unusual cleaning order reflects heightened political tensions following the demonstration. The DEM Party alleges discriminatory intent behind the order and has initiated legal action. The incident occurred in a public square in Turkey, raising concerns about the treatment of Kurdish communities and political expression. Video footage of the cleaning operation has circulated, further amplifying the controversy surrounding the event. This demonstrates a visible reaction to the Kurdish gathering and a concerning application of religious cleansing practices in a public space.
