“AThis is what happens today is one of the 21st century coups. Is similar to the coup that Trump makes in the US » are the first phrases of the award -winning self -styled Turkish journalist and writer Eze In “Vima”, which raises the bar of the qualifying elections. “Today’s day is critical” It emphasizes us.
“People believe that Imamoglou has” locked “his candidacy and must be the only candidate. With the support of all opposition forces, which are called upon to unite, its candidacy is shielded. “
The demonstrations contribute in this direction, adds Temelkuran. “I didn’t think people would defy the bans. . In order for the Turkish president to get rid of his political opponent, he destroys lives, sends 100 people to prison. It is not only the degree of Imamoglou who, in violation of the Constitution, was canceled after 31 years, after the leaders of the department he graduated from being rejected because they refused to cancel it. In the same situation, 26 more people, academics, CEO in multinational companies were suddenly found. “
Scenarios for what is coming after the qualifiers cannot do our interlocutor: “We are in uncharted waters. We are the only country governed by a right, authoritarian, populist regime in the last 20 years. Today the people have the opportunity to overturn it. Erdogan was not a democratic leader, at least he was democratically elected. Now she loses this choice and she has to choose. Will we become like Putin’s Russia or will we become a liberal democracy? “
Even if o, “We have to look at the example of Selahattin Demirtas”of the former HDP co -chain of the HDP, is urged by the militant journalist.
“Although he cannot participate in the elections, his political career has not ended. Demirtas remains an important political voice through prison, which also participates in the so -called peace path to resolve the Kurdish. Listening to Imamoglou’s wife at the great gathering at the City Hall on Wednesday, I remembered Mandela. Mandela became a symbol because people supported him. If the Turkish people support Imamoglou, they have not even scared prison. “
