Those who read my articles carefully know that I approach issues from a fact-centered approach rather than an event-centered or event-oriented one. I have always adopted this approach at every stage of my life, because I believe that the one who dominates the whole will also dominate the part. That's why I don't get caught up in minutiae, I have nothing to do with empty talk.
No one should expect the storms that erupted after Keçiören Mayor Mesut Özarslan resigned from the CHP and switched to the AK Party to cause a major disaster. The public has become accustomed to a chicken fleeing the henhouse and being declared a “thief”, or being considered “pure” in its new home.
What we are dealing with here is not just a politician changing parties. For example, a member of parliament changing parties may not be such a big deal, because he is not a superior in the national administration. But the mayor is not like that. By law, he is an expenditure authority, in old terms, an “Itâ Âmiri”. This is not an ordinary office.
“Transfer Politics and the Bankruptcy of Conscience”
It is a serious erosion of morality when those who until yesterday were considered shameless thieves when they were on the other side are treated as if nothing happened when they cross over to their side. Likewise, it is another erosion when a person who was “pure” on their side is declared a thief as soon as they cross over to the other side. In short, technical and tactical errors are rampant on both sides.
This picture is one of the clear indicators of social decay. Let us not forget: We are talking about the transfer of a senior executive who is a spending authority. We are talking about people against whom there have been numerous accusations and complaints.
“Chickens Fleeing the Coop, Silent Roosters”
There are those in the ruling party and the opposition who are uncomfortable with this situation, but they are not very vocal. In short, it's one thing or the other...
It is not only the aforementioned person or those who have changed parties before. This has now become a systemic problem. As the old saying goes, “not one, not five”; it is also a separate problem that the administrations that stand by and watch this happening are not questioned.
Is it always the chicken that escapes from the henhouse? Where is the guilt, shame and responsibility of the rooster who cannot take care of the coop? If the rooster, who knows how to crow with joy every morning, cannot prevent the chickens from escaping from the coop, is this not incapacity? If it is, he should stop being a rooster and mind his own business.
“Where Has Morality Disappeared?”
How possible is it to make a healthy analysis in a process in which the murderers put all the blame on the dead and declare themselves as white spoons washed with water washed with groundzam? Attempts to manipulate public opinion through perception operations is an erosion in itself.
“Yes, yes, but what is nine bread debts?” said our elders. We are witnessing those who never once ask “Where did we go wrong?” shamelessly trying to give lessons.
“Parties and the System are Collapsing”
This is not politics! If not, the office is a burden. It is not great who is crushed under his office; it is great who adds power to the office. I have no personal animosity with anyone. I speak and write purely on facts.
Let us look at the past: Were there such rapid and widespread transitions under Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu and his predecessors? No one could remove a nail from Mr. Kemal. The government is the same government, so what has changed? The change is obvious: In the hands of a novice captain, the ship keeps hitting icebergs and taking on water. Will this passenger, sorry, leftist wake up when the ship sinks?
If there is a contradiction in a work, it is necessary to throw out those who did the work quickly.
