Illegal detention of Imamoglu; Türkiye is likely to go back to the parliamentary system
It seems that the detention of popular politicians in Türkiye has become a tradition in its policy. The detention of the leader of the Democratic Party of People’s Democratic Party, Salahuddin Demirtash, and now the arrest of Akram Imamoglu actually causes suspicion of the judicial process and the political use of judicial justice among society.
Akram Imam Oglu, who has been active as the mayor of Istanbul and an important member of the Republican People’s Party for two years, is known as Erdogan’s most important competitor. It should be noted that a mayor in Türkiye has a high political power and if that person is the mayor of a metropolis, it will double. The cancellation of Imamoglu’s degree and then his arrest has made a lot of noise in Turkey, so that the government has filtered WhatsApp messengers and preventing Imamoglu support gatherings.
In this regard, to examine the political consequences and political consequences of Imamoglu, Mehr reporter It follows:
What will be the political consequences of Imamoglu’s arrest as mayor and political rival?
The political consequences of this transformation will be effective, but what matters most is the reaction of the voters to this. The public’s view is that Akram Imam Oglu has been treated unfairly and this feeling may be reflected in the ballot boxes. There has been a similar situation in the past. Imamoglu won the municipal elections for the first time, with a slight disagreement, 6,000 votes. But the AKP refused to accept this defeat and illegally hold the election for the second time. In the second round, Imam Oglu won the difference of 4,000 votes. This shows that when the Turkish people see injustice, they react to the ballot box. The votes of the Republican People’s Party (the most important opposition party of Erdogan’s government) have long increased.
In the latest municipal elections, in year 2, the AKP lost metropolitan areas that were considered their political base. The reasons for these failures are corruption and embezzlement in the government, the party’s failures in foreign policy, the high costs of livelihoods, and the problems caused by the single regime. All of these factors have made people turn to the Republican People’s Party.
For this reason, the Republican People’s Party has repeatedly called for early elections. On the other hand, Imamoglu has announced that he will be a presidential candidate. Erdogan cannot appear as a rival in front of Imam Oglu.
This situation has led the AKP to commit an illegal act in front of the eyes of the world. In fact, there is no illegality, because the leader of the party, Erdogan, is the law itself. For example, Imamoglu’s degree, which he received five years ago, was declared void and the president of the university, who did not decide to revoke a degree, was forced to resign. Instead of the university presidency, the professors decided to revoke a degree. This is an obvious violation of rights and has extremely angry the community.
The AKP has lost even the overwhelming majority of its voters. The AKP led by Erdogan not only arrests its rivals, but also all its opponents and keeps them in prison for years. He inflicts accusations for some people who are against the rule, because the law cannot be extended to the past. The arrest of Imamoglu was a serious political milestone in the country.
Turkish politics has been formed in Turkish politics that the AKP cannot maintain its power. The ruling Turkish party has lost its legitimacy. If Imamoglu is nominated despite all these problems or someone else is nominated, he or she has a great chance of winning. In this case, the country will enter a new phase of returning to the parliamentary system that could be the biggest political consequence.
Is the government appointment for the Istanbul municipality?
The AKP has for years to manage all institutions that see the opposition, especially municipalities through the appointment of a guardian. Therefore, he can set a guardian for the municipality of Istanbul.
This guardian appointment is a little difficult for the ruling party and there are still strong reactions in the political and public community. If Erdogan appoints a guardian for the Istanbul Municipality, his goal is to implement the Istanbul Canal Project; A project that destroys Istanbul. Turkish courts have prevented the project from being implemented. Now the government can re -execute the project through the municipality under the management of the guardian.
AKP closest to the AKPs believe that we should not analyze recent developments related to Imamoglu as a political process because it is a security issue. What do you think? Isn’t Imamoglu’s arrest?
The work of the government’s support for the government is distorting government practices. Given that the charges against Imamoglu are not related to municipal affairs and other charges have been made, it is clear that this decision is completely political. Because in all the elections, Imamoglu has won the government. Since the government failed to stop Imamoglu through the elections, they have decided to attack him through the judiciary to prevent his political presence. In other words, the arrest of Imamoglu is a political decision in every respect.
