Not Turkish but interested
Turkey has been in an economic crisis for almost a decade. In spite of it, the main opposition party failed to win the May 2023 elections and it led the party leadership to be voted out at the party convention in November 2023. Five months later, the new, more proactive leadership made the party Turkey’s leading party in the 2024 local elections after half a century. Only after the electoral victory, a series of operations started against the opposition. Along with tens of others, the opposition candidate for the upcoming presidential election got jailed with no concrete evidence and held as a hostage. Today, a lower court unlawfully overruled the highest judicial body, the Supreme Election Council, annulled the November 2023 convention and replaced the new leadership with the old, incompetent one. This is a clear message to all of the opposition parties. If we cannot stop this madness, it will mark the end of us freely electing our representatives and our ability to shape our own future through politics.
Got it, fascist takeover by a strongman/dictator suppressing free elections.
Thanks!
as a result, the leader of the opposition party is fighting with the new leader, that's what they are doing, they are not bringing anything but fighting and chaos, and they are preventing Turkey from looking ahead and calling the people to the streets. This is Erdoğan fans perspective they are believing this situation. the problem is that the leader who was unfairly removed from leaderness of party he makes decisions that won't work, and he does the same now like previous election, hanging out like a cat being even more hypocritical than they are, with a full theatrical display of the election, with the full meaning of a cunning politician, their behavior is all miserable creatures
