In İzmir, Baykal criticizes new law on municipalities

In Izmir yesterday, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal said Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan is mistaken to believe that his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) could capture the Aegean coastal city in local elections scheduled for next spring. Baykal also criticized the recently passed law on municipalities, saying, "This error will be corrected by the Constitutional Court, which will do what is necessary."
