In the minds of many, the question may arise as to why Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s continued election campaign. Erdogan’s party steals state resource for its election campaign and intimidates local rivals. Most of Turkey’s TV channels are in the hands of Erdogan’s family and allies. They also face weak opposition in journalism. In addition, Erdogan gets 10 times more air time than his rivals during the election season.
All of this has been revealed in an article published in the British newspaper The Times. This article was written by Hannah Lucinda Smith. Leading female author Erdogan has also written a book called Rising: The Battle for the Soul of Turkey. In the article, Hannah Lucinda Smith states that even when Erdogan does not win, they take the path that they do not think has been defeated. The official news agency, “Injustice,” has been trending to present election results in areas previously supported by Erdogan so that it looks like they have hit the ground. Often, their victory is announced before the full counting of votes and their supporters and supporters take to the streets to celebrate.
According to Hannah Lucinda Smith’s article, showing Erdogan this artificial display of democracy is addictive to the point of intoxication. Hannah Lucinda Smith covered reporter coverage of 7 periods of elections and referendums held there since moving to Turkey 6 years ago. Erdogan’s election campaign paves the way for Jim Gaffer. During this time, the Erdogan appearing on the stage appears to be very happy. The sacrifices of the Islamic world and the accusation of hypocrisy in the West are the most prominent topics in Erdogan’s address.
However, Erdogan’s own hypocrisy is evident when he claims to have a say in the intention of the nation. While at the same time, they have long protected themselves within the walls of their palace. Erdogan has indeed strengthened his hold on the country’s executive authority, security forces and the judiciary, through drafting and constitutional reforms. Erdogan did not use his powers to improve the situation in the country. During the past decade, most of the debt was spent on construction projects rather than spending on modernizing the education or industrial sector. Although the value of the Turkish lira has declined, Erdogan continues to insist on controlling interest rates voluntarily. This increased food and fuel prices.
The Middle East’s policy of interference with affairs has resulted in the flood of 36 million Syrian refugees into Turkey. For many Turks, this was a very sensitive issue that involved busy living with bread, hands for bread and so on. Erdogan’s margin of victory has always been modest and now the ratio is declining rapidly. The night of March 31 this year was no less than a resurrection for Erdogan. The results of the municipal elections on that day proved to be a referendum for Erdogan’s declining popularity, and his party lost many seats nationwide, including major cities. Erdogan did not even think he would face this task in the municipal elections. Indeed, Erdogan employs self-created means of authoritarianism in addition to traditional methods of absolutism. For observers, dictatorship is being fully enforced in the veil of democracy through a one-way election game. Erdogan faces severe disappointment in local elections. This was expressed in response to their intense reaction. Thus, the chances of winning the opposition in the upcoming elections scheduled in 2023 are also created.
The options that Erdogan currently faces include either continuing his journey representing democracy or ruling as an unfair dictator. Erdogan’s recent actions indicate he is inclined to another option. Of course, a third option is to retire from his position with heartfelt joy, but Erdogan has convinced him he will not accept the move.
Writer Hannah Lucinda Smith warns that the Erdogan threat is not confined to Turkey, but it is certainly spreading to other European countries like a pandemic. Erdogan’s path to Turkey will affect those populists in Europe. Who see the Turkish president as an educator and role model in competitive authoritarianism?
