“If the next presidential elections are held, under normal circumstances, it will be very difficult to win the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)” is the key conclusion that Ali Tirali is presumed to Imamoglou.
More than 15 million voters participated, of which 13 million are not members of the CHP (their vote went to the “solidarity ballot” in favor of the prisoner and a candidate mayor), reminding us of the political analyst, with his deep family ties. As, despite the defeat of the candidate for CHP President Kemal Kilitzdaroglou, in the 2023 presidential, in the last 2014 self -government, the party received 17 million votes (37.8%), leaving in second with 16 million votes in the last 20 million.
“This striking rally of the electorate on Sunday can be considered the main political development of CHP qualifiers and the wider opposition, while citizens are demonstrating in recent days, rigid of prohibitions and repression,” he said in Voters appear to have come to the polls for the qualifiers.
‘Listen message to government’
“,” HP vice president, the shadow of his Foreign Minister and Academician, Ilhan Uzgel, points out.
“The high involvement and mobilization of our young people is something that surpasses Mr. Imoglou. It has to do with democracy, which is at risk in Turkey, has to do with equality, finding a right job, life without fear, censorship, bans, repression. The vote acquires additional value in oppressive regimes. It is one of the ways for millions of citizens who do not dare to take to the streets to express their dissatisfaction. “
At the same time, the fifteen million votes on Sunday in the qualifying elections, according to the Vice President of the CHP “are sending a strong message to the government that the Turkish people are rallying behind Mr Imamoglou and that they resist authoritarianism. Especially today as the government is stepping up its pogrom against the opposition, targeting Imamoglou, Ankara Mayor Mansour Yavas. We won’t put it down. With the support of the Turkish people we will be the next government. “
“The imprisonment of Ephram Imamoglu must be considered as a critical turning point for Turkey’s history,” Tirali adds. “If the mayor of Constantinople is not released as soon as possible and not in practice, a candidate for the President of the opposition, because today it is on a symbolic level, the Turkish regime, the competitive authoritarianism, which has been established by Erdogan, will be transformed into a totalitarian regime.
Its popular reaction and its importance to Turkey, which tonight is on the leg, following a call of CHP, “is probably underestimated abroad,” the Turkish political scientist continues. “Almost a week tries whether the popular democratic opposition can regain power and overthrow the dominance of populist authoritarianism. The success or failure of the popular movement could serve as a global precedent, at a time when authoritarian leaders have evolved into a tendency. “
