The protests "marked a display of solidarity among labour unions (with the exception of Kamu-sen, a conservative union), other NGOs, various organs of political parties, and even groups of sports club supporters; rather than being a protest march against the government," Hatipoğlu wrote in an email interview for SETimes.
Protestele "s-au remarcat prin manifestarea de solidaritate dintre sindicate (cu excepţia Kamu-sen, un sindicat conservator), alte ONG-uri, diverse organe ale partidelor politice şi chiar grupuri de suporteri de cluburi sportive, şi nu ca fiind un marş de protest împotriva guvernului", a scris Hatipoğlu într-un interviu acordat prin email publicaţiei SETimes.
