Erdogan is on the way to retreat from the presidential system

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, these days in Turkey, often Analysts comment on the contents of the reform package of the ruling party of this country. Because the leaders and senior managers of the Justice and Development Party, after the heavy defeat it experienced in the recent elections, held discussions for two days and nights in the political camp of Qazalji Hammam in Ankara in order to find out why this party after 22 years of ruling and Tazi has suddenly fallen to the second rank of the country’s parties.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in the gathering of his party leaders, openly announced that he received the message of the voters and knows very well that In the current situation, this party is not favored and supported by the society, and therefore it should give in to changes and reforms. What Akparty or Justice and Development Party needs is real and structural reforms. /Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1403/03/14/1403031409050613530224774.jpg”/>

and form the ruling party. There is still no news about the contents of this package, but news and words have been leaked to the media which show that Erdogan openly told his comrades “The presidential system has problems and we need to fix it”.

Erdogan’s words are considered to mean withdrawing from the presidential system, and now many analysts who always write against Erdogan , they are talking about the level of the future changes and reforms.

Are some people going to get off the train and other people will take their place or not? The more important question is: will the Turkish ruling party return to its heyday with the reforms, or will it inevitably hand over power to the opposition in 2028?

The two figures who are Erdogan’s eyes and ears in structural reforms

Abd al-Qadir Salvi, a long-time analyst of Hurriyet newspaper in Ankara and from People close to Erdoğan, who always accompanies him on his domestic and foreign trips, announced in his analysis column that bringing new faces to work will go far beyond the conventional dismissals and installations.

Selvi informed about this issue that the burden of reforms and changes is on the shoulders of two important party and political figures, which are:

Judet Yilmaz: This The political figure who currently holds the post of the vice president is one of the Kurds of Zaza, Turkey, who has always been by Erdogan’s side in the last two decades and previously served as the Minister of Development of Turkey. He has the skills and expertise of macroeconomic management, but at the same time, he has a high level of knowledge about the functioning of administrative and governance systems, and he has been tasked by Erdogan to identify the weaknesses within the cabinet and government institutions and determine their solutions within the framework of reforms. .

Yilmaz is also free to present a list to Erdogan, which ministers, deputy ministers and senior government managers should go and be replaced by new faces.

Afghan Alla: This politician from Karadeniz or Black Sea region is one of the calm and experienced faces of Erdogan’s team. He was previously the Minister of the Interior and for several years, he took the helm of determining the foreign policy of the ruling party and is currently one of the 5 most important figures of the party. He has been assigned to carry out an extensive review of the party’s central council, the party’s policy-making body in Ankara and Istanbul, as well as middle managers in the provincial branches, and provide the party leader with a list of people based on which he should be appointed. Get off the train. Alla has also been assigned to form a large interview team to talk to dozens of top and important supporters of the party and tell Erdogan what Akparty supporters are complaining about and what changes should be made.

There are internal disputes

Esmet Ozcelik is one Another Turkish political analyst believes that the Justice and Development Party and the leader of this party, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are facing significant challenges against the increasing demand for “change” and reforms.

But from his point of view, in addition to the demand for reforms, there is another big issue, which is the competition of two different political lines in the heart of the Justice and Development Party, and now their differences are bigger than what is seen by the people and the media. Stay away.

Ozcelik claimed that the supporters of Fethullah Gulen still have influence in the Central Council of the Justice and Development Party and have created a bipolarity between two currents of Erdogan’s comrades, one of them He is in favor of America and entering a new phase, and on the other hand, he sees himself close to the far-right nationalist ideas and does not believe in change and reforms.

From the point of view of this leftist Turkish analyst, Sir Giving the slogan “Acparty must return to factory settings” means trying to get closer to America.

A challenge called Economy

Abd al-Kader Salvi, in the text he published about the changes and reforms considered by Erdogan, points out that the ruling party wants an important structural change to the extent of changing experience the paradigm and discourse, and such a thing will be a historical turning point for Erdogan and his companions and can change the fate of the party for years to come.

Erdogan’s most important challenge for Addressing structural reforms in the Justice and Development Party and the government is that the importance of the economic crisis and increasing inflation overshadows every other issue and priority, and if reforms are to be made, they must be in line with the fight against the economic crisis. /p>>

Erdogan, who in 2018 changed the political and executive structure of his country from a parliamentary to a presidential one with a large referendum and with a Napoleonic vote of 51%, has now become a leader who A world of unsupervised authority has practically assumed responsibility for all areas, and no minister, deputy minister, or general manager is willing to make a decision or take action without getting the president’s opinion.

The result of this issue has caused delay and slowness in governance and now it is expected that Erdogan, by withdrawing from the unlimited powers of the presidency, will delegate some of his power and responsibility to others so that maybe there will be a change and the life system

But some analysts familiar with Turkey’s governance mechanisms say that after a long 22-year rule, the Justice and Development Party has lost all its strength, appeal and status and It is unlikely that he will be able to regain his old position in the hearts of the Turkish people by carrying out reforms.
