Reasons for the decline of the star of Erdogan’s powerful opposition in Türkiye

According to the report of the International Group Tasnim News Agency, these days in Turkey, every day a new news is published about the “Good Party” and apparently it is on the precipice of collapse.

The party that acts as a movement What-Right is at the center of extreme nationalism in Turkey, but at the same time, in the 2023 elections, it formed the coalition of the nation with a mixture of democrats, leftists and conservatives.

A coalition that aims to impose a defeat It was politically heavy on Erdoğan, but this goal was not achieved, and the leader of the Good Party, Mrs. Meral Achsner, announced two days ago: “If I had the current political wisdom and vision, I would never have joined that coalition.”

Actioner has decided in the upcoming elections , do not associate with any party, but a significant number of party officials disagree with this decision of their leader and get off the train one by one. Mrs. Achner’s deputies are resigning one by one, and her powerful party, which had traveled a hundred years overnight, is falling and dissolving.

National newspapers Gazete, Suzju and Hurriyet, all 3 Ankara editions, announced the resignation of Ahmad Zaki Och Ok . He was one of the important deputies of Mrs. Achner in the Good Party and he was mentioned as a person who defines the strategy of the party and the political path of confronting Erdogan.

Those who left the good party And, they have accused Mrs. Meral Akhsner of isolationism, dictator-like behavior, deception in the leadership of the party, inability to play the game of friendship and alliance with parties and political confusion.

Does America stand in Is it between?

You might be surprised to hear that a domestic political issue in Turkey is easily related to foreign policy. But in any case, Turkey is such a country and the multiplicity of parties and media, along with the importance of political competition, has caused political analyzes to find strange directions.

Recently, one of Erdogan’s partners In the name of Dugho Princek, the leader of the Communist Party of Watan, announced that Meral Actionner was “the gladiator queen of NATO” and now she is slowly being removed from the scene.

Princhek believes that the Americans played an important role in meeting Actionner, but they could not keep him, and as a result, he is now witnessing a peaceful end to his life. We are a woman politician who could have been the Margaret Thatcher of Turkey. /newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1401/04/10/1401041015093818525610064.jpg”/>

Of course, it is not only Princzek who has sharp views about the end of the actioner’s career. Some other Turkish political commentators believe that if he had not acted like a self-righteous and narcissistic politician in 2018 and was willing to support Abdullah Gul along with other Turkish political parties, Erdogan would have easily been defeated.

But Mrs. Actionner declared: I have promised my fans and I will run personally.” Actionner only got 7% ​​of the vote in that election, but by doing so, he brought Erdogan back to power.

There is no clear information about Actionner’s possible relations with the US and NATO, but it is said that he, during his political maturity, was apparently close to the Bagheli government. , but in the interior, the hand of the coup plotter and creeper Fethullah Gulen has been.

Turkey and the depressed opposition

Mustafa Karaalioglu, one of the political commentators of Turkey, believes that the opposition parties in this country are in political depression. He also wrote about Actionner and his party: “The biggest shock and trauma after the election can be seen in the Good Party. People are watching the events and flood of developments based on the internal tension of this party like a fascinating TV series. The lack of a clear political policy, the problems of leadership and management, and the loss of a sense of cohesion and empathy in this party are clearly visible. To understand resignations, successive firings and abandoning attitudes, one must read Actionner’s mind. But most of the resignations also go through that path and leave the party. All the failures of the party are related to his personality. The decline of a party that reached an astounding 10 percent of the vote shortly after its founding is surprising. Ashkner’s leadership in this party is completely different from the style we are used to and definitely has no other example! He easily fires the best members of his team. The decrease in votes in the latest polls shows that this approach has had heavy consequences for the good party”.

Why is a fifth party important in Turkey?

Establishing a political party in Turkey is not a difficult task. But a party that is allowed to participate in the elections with its official name and party list must first of all have a main office in the capital of the province and an office in the largest city of the province in half plus one province of Turkey.

Given that Turkey has 81 provinces, the establishment of all these offices and the provision of buildings, personnel, cars and running costs is not an issue that can be easily ignored. Therefore, a party that carries the name of an official and legal party, firstly, has a social base and political policy, and secondly, it has significant organization and financial foundation.

A look at the number of seats of different Turkish parties in the parliament of this country. The Justice and Development Party led by Erdoğan, the People’s Republic Party led by Ozel, the Democracy and Equality Party (Agbari P.K.K.) and the National Movement Party led by the Baghçeli government are the four most important parties in the country, and the Good Party led by Mrs. Achsner stands on the fifth place.

But why should a fifth-rate party , does it matter? The answer is that it is very difficult for Turkish parties to enter the parliament and even get one seat out of 600 seats in the parliament. Some of Turkey’s old parties, such as the Great Unity Party, after 3 decades of activity, barely managed to win only one seat, and even that one seat was lost in this year’s elections.

6 years and since 2017, he has been able to bring his party to an important position and won 44 seats. However, 8 representatives of this party have resigned and joined other parties, and so far more than 45 people have left the party’s deputies and high-ranking leaders.

In the end, it must be said that Meral Aksner suffered a heavy defeat in the 2018 presidential elections with his reckless decisions. Erdogan’s opponents imposed. He is standing at a historical point and can once again negatively affect the election results. The upcoming April elections will be smoother.
