Criticizing the decrease in the quality of governance in Türkiye and the increase in misery indicators

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, despite the passage of 9 months of the new government Erdoğan and the Justice and Development Party, there has been no positive change in the living conditions of the Turkish people. As a result, criticism of the performance of the government and the ruling party has increased, and experts believe that the political and economic conditions of Turkey after It will get worse after the municipal elections that will be held in April next month. Because, based on the experiences of the previous years, Erdogan and his party only pay attention to the wishes of the people and critics when they have an election prospect. , they continue on their way as before and in a single-minded and perfectionist way.

Two famous Turkish analysts believe that in the last few years, Turkey has experienced the worst type of regression and quality reduction in many political and governance areas. Each of them, from a different point of view, point to important problems in Turkey that have reduced the country’s status from a developing country to a regressing country in the past few years.

Turks on the way to the west, yesterday the conqueror and today the immigrant

Yusuf Zia Jumert, one of the famous analysts of Turkey, while analyzing some distant historical contexts, pointed out that throughout history and even two thousand years ago, the Turks were interested in moving from the northern lands, the Caucasus and Transylvania to Europe.

While referring to the historical events of the Ottoman era and the attack of the Ottoman sultans on today’s Austria and the rule of the Byzantines, he wrote: “If we briefly review history, we find that the position of us Turks in Europe has changed seriously. Previously, we used to go to other regions from the remote corners of Siberia, from the southern and western sides of Mongolia, we crossed the Urals and after a long journey we reached Italy and other European countries. Another group of Turks went to the south from beyond the Nile, and some of them reached Anatolia through Afghanistan and Iran, and then to Romelia and Austria, and a small group of Turks went to Egypt and Morocco on the way to Africa. But we stopped at some point in history and now we are migrating due to difficult conditions. Until yesterday, we used to leave Europe as invaders who conquered important parts of the European land and ruled there. But now we are not conquerors and we have gone to Europe as immigrants and we are looking for work and a better standard of living”. Yusuf Zia Jumert wrote further: “Some people in Turkey have raised the slogan of joining the East and call themselves Eurasianists, and a group is China-friendly. And they want Turkey to join the Shanghai Treaty. But this desire is not rooted in business and economic goals. Rather, it is because our efforts to accompany the West did not succeed. Therefore, our discussion is more about the quality of democratic processes, human rights and freedom. We have lost many things in Türkiye. For example, the Turkish judicial system is biased and listens to the government’s order in the trial of opponents and lacks any judicial independence. Turkey has long lost its quality and strength in several important and vital sectors.” Jommert continued and referring to the shortcomings of Turkey’s political structure, wrote: “The greatest corruption and destruction in our party system It has happened and in our parties, democratic processes are ignored and mostly the party leader is omnipotent. After all, at the macro level and in the Turkish governance system, the separation of powers has almost completely disappeared. We live in a situation where Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, compared to all the presidents of the world, has the highest amount of unlimited authority and there is no mechanism to monitor his actions. The judicial system takes into account Erdogan’s and his party’s point of view to issue any verdict, and the parliament is not a legislative body with will and independence, but a machine that can sign any law and resolution on the orders of the top government officials! Naturally, in such an atmosphere, there is no such thing as monitoring, accountability and responsibility. For now, the only difference between us and the Eastern totalitarian countries is that we have a competitive electoral system and we are not like some countries that easily declare someone with 98% of the votes as the winner! But if the separation of powers with this quality is destroyed and the efforts to unify the powers in Turkey continue and Erdogan has all the areas in the form of a bowl, it will not be long before Turkey’s competitive electoral system is also destroyed and the Justice Party And development will be announced as the winner in every competition with 90% of the votes”. /Image/1402/12/11/1402121116155264229516774.jpg”/>
 

2023 goals have been achieved but in another Turkey!

Ms. Elif Çakar is another Turkish political analyst who has written about the decline in the quality of governance in this country and has focused on an important issue called the failure to achieve the goals of Turkey’s Vision 2023.

He has used this sarcastic headline to express his point: “The goals of Vision 2023 have been achieved, but not in the Turkey we live in!”

Chaker wrote. “Erdogan speaks in his party’s election speeches as if Turkey has achieved the goals of the vision of 2023 and the government has fulfilled all its promises!” On January 30 of this year, he calmly said: We built and developed Turkey by fulfilling the goals of Vision 2023, and now we are implementing a new program called the Century of Turkey! Of course, people applauded! Why? Because Erdogan was among his supporters and they don’t care what Erdogan says. Because their only mission is continuous applause and cheering!”

Alif Chaker further wrote: “When Erdoğan says that the goals of 2023 have been achieved, he must be telling the truth as the president. But the problem is that I live in Turkey, where most of this vision remains on paper and has not been implemented! Good luck with that Turkey that Erdogan is talking about! They must be in a good mood after achieving the goals of the 2023 vision! Yes! It seems that there is a Turkey in which the goals of 2023 have been fully achieved and Erdogan is completely satisfied with this valuable victory. “https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1402/12/11/1402121116175843929516784.jpg”/>
This Turkish analyst wrote in a sarcastic tone: “The objectives of the vision document 2023 researcher became But with the difference that in 2011 and during the announcement of the aforementioned goals, Turkey was ranked 17th in the world economy, and instead of rising to the 10th rank in 2023, it chose free fall and reached the 22nd rank! In that vision, there was talk of targeting single-digit inflation. But now, the government’s statistics say about 80% inflation, and independent analysts’ statistics say that the inflation rate is three digits! According to the World Bank inflation report, Turkey is the fourth country with the highest real food inflation. The unemployment rate was supposed to be in single digits and now 1 out of every 4 citizens is unemployed. There was supposed to be no poor in Turkey in 2023, but now, our country ranks 21st among 156 countries in the global misery index! Turkey ranks first among European countries in terms of poverty and dissatisfaction. There is no need to check global indicators, today the majority of Turkey lives in poverty. Our per capita income was supposed to increase to 25 thousand dollars, but now it has reached 12 thousand 615 dollars. In that Turkey, where we, not Erdogan, live, the judiciary has become so partisan and politicized that it is unprecedented in its history, and judges make their decisions based on political will, not the law. In the reports of Transparency International’s corruption index, the Turkey we live in has fallen to the 115th rank among 180 countries! The record of governance of Justice and Development Party and Erdoğan’s government has no news of reform measures and designing new programs and drawing a road map for transitioning from the crisis. But the evidence shows that during the municipal elections in Turkey, which will be held in April next month, the votes of the people can send an important political and social message to the government and the opposition parties and show whether, basically, from the point of view of the Turkish people, Continue with the same situation, or the ruling party should go to the implementation of new reforms.
