There is a trend shared on social media.
A father and his children...
Mother asks:
“Let the 5-year-old who has his own room step forward.”
Children take a step forward.
“At the age of 8 he had his own bicycle, had more than two pairs of shoes, went on vacation in the summer...”
Children step forward one step at a time.
The mother asks this time:
“Working and contributing to the family at the age of 8?”
The father takes a step forward.
The children stay put.
“No more than one pair of shoes, no room of his own, no bicycle?”
The father takes a step forward.
The children stand still again.
The mother continues:
“Struggling for a happy and peaceful life for his family since his teenage years?”
The father takes a step forward.
The children are still in place.
And in the end, the children turn to their fathers, who bear the burden of their unlived childhoods, hug them and cry.
Those who govern us and those who intend to govern us...
How about conducting this social experiment between your children and our children?
Why are we and our children always one step behind?
Why do we always look at someone's two lips for a more comfortable life, always walk two steps behind them?
The government has implanted in the subconscious of the society a mentality that does not question, does not object and says “thank God for that”.
A society has been created in which even if someone does wrong, they are told that “there must be something to it”, and even if they get angry or rebel from within, they consider it their fate to submit to neighborhood pressure.
To make ends meet, they have developed an equation that baffles even economists.
While everything seems so obvious, neither an alternative politics can be developed nor realistic solutions can be proposed.
While leftist and social democratic parties founded for the people and for a just order should be a strong alternative to the government, on the contrary, nationalist-conservative parties have increased their votes even in this picture.
The alternative to the right has again been the right.
Potential voting power is consolidated inside the center without spilling outside it.
In other words, the children of the upper neighborhood, no matter what they experience within themselves, still do not come together with the children of the lower neighborhood.
The children of the lower neighborhood, on the other hand, have gradually thickened the line due to internal divisions, fights, irreversible betrayals, power poisoning and new friendships with capital.
At this point, instead of finding solutions to the problems of the neighborhood, internal contradictions and personal calculations came to the fore; the problems of the neighborhood were forgotten and no one cared.
While the children of the upper neighborhood have kept their potential alive inside, the children of the lower neighborhood have spent this potential for personal interests; they have moved away from being a hope for society.
In such an environment, which solutions will those shouting for “early elections” come up with?
Shady congresses, arrested mayors, the web of relationships revealed in indictments...
As those who wallow in the spiral of betrayal and corruption see the party as their own power and spend it on saving individuals instead of saving the neighborhood, the ruptures and distancing become more evident.
It does not resonate with society.
The only way out of this maelstrom is a solution-oriented, principled, visionary politics that is backed by reason, science and the power of the people, and a wise, honest and moral leader who can make the children of the upper neighborhood sit side by side at the same table.
This is exactly the situation inside the CHP today.
While Kılıçdaroğlu wants to save the neighborhood, Özgür Özel and his team are trying to get rid of their own troubles.
Kılıçdaroğlu wants no father and no child to be one step behind, but always standing side by side.
On the other side, those who are caught in the middle of a tangle of dirty relations established in their own interests, who sink as they struggle, who know what will happen in advance and are eager to become heroes through political maneuvering.
Every Wednesday, first in Silivri, then in the provinces and districts, the enthusiasm of the artificial crowds formed by the party organizations is diminishing day by day.
The Çankırı rally is a clear example of this (Ankara-Çankırı is only 45 minutes away).
The recent legal developments and the pamphlets brought to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey have caused problems; a new maneuvering space has been tried to be opened with the oriental cunning of “Softening-Normalization 2.0”.
In this picture, does the current administration care about the CHP's sensitivity to social problems?
From a party that once determined the direction of governments, it has drifted to a structure that thinks about its own future in order to save the future of people who are declared “heroes” in adventures that will never happen, channeling party organizations in this direction and giving the appearance of opposing the government.
With the power of the SAC in their hands, approximately 1500 people were dismissed without judgment or questioning.
This is the point.
Now I ask you:
Who is concerned about how to get out of the economic distress the country is in?
Kılıçdaroğlu.
Who is agitating for the minimum wage, unemployment, hardship and the decline in purchasing power?
Kılıçdaroğlu.
Who wants to prevent young people from having to leave this country under the name of brain drain, to solve all their problems in this country and to change the government with these young people?
Kılıçdaroğlu.
The list goes on and on...
In this social experiment, Kılıçdaroğlu always stands side by side with the people, at the people's table.
Those who step forward should know that;
The path cannot be walked without heart and faith.
Every beginning begins with a single step.
