Turkey is a country of 85 million 665 thousand people. Everyone in this country who has a mind, who has a memory, who has experience in the ballot box knows this: What is being marketed as the signatures of more than 25 million voters demanding “freedom” for Ekrem İmamoğlu is not a political success; it is an outright mockery of our minds.
Oh yeah... Did 1.5 year old children wearing size 32 shoes also sign the petition? Newborn babies killed in Paris while enjoying a soccer match? There must be a limit to mocking the people of this country and imposing numbers as if they were sacred texts.
The reason is simple, let me explain. The Turkish nation is intelligent. Hardworking. Moral. And most importantly: It has the wisdom to distinguish between immorality and innocence. It recognizes the misguided people who make perceptions. He knows those who make politics by inflating numbers. It distinguishes fake enthusiasm and artificial crowd from its odor.
What is presented as 25.1 million signatures cannot be voter signatures. This is not the goal anyway. The real goal is clear: To belittle, devalue and erase from history the 25 million 504 thousand votes Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu received in the second round of the presidential elections. This is an attempt by the zoomist change-makers, who came to power only through perception and shadows, to produce legitimacy with numbers on the table.
The reality is that there are no 25 million signatures. If anything, there are voter lists circulating in party offices, headquarters and computer screens. There are family registration samples. There are not wet signatures, but wet dreams. There is manipulation.
And the really scary question is: Maybe it was signed in your name. Maybe in my name. Maybe we don't even know.
Everyone knows that personal data is circulating in this country. Everyone knows how identity information, addresses and voter registers are passed from hand to hand. But no one takes legal, moral and political responsibility for this signature fairy tale.
Politics is not made by perception. Legitimacy is not produced by photocopying. The will of the people does not come from the Excel spreadsheet.
While the legal process continues, trying to produce success with so-called signatures on the table through Ekrem İmamoğlu, whose legal qualification to be a candidate is controversial; This is an effort to substitute the legitimacy that the ongoing legal process cannot provide with fake numbers, artificial crowds and the illusion of power created on paper. It will neither bring freedom to Ekrem İmamoğlu nor democracy to this country.
It only confirms this: Those who underestimate the intelligence of the people will save the day, but will always be embarrassed in front of history.
