However, it is not the person who is targeted, but the moral, principled and clean political line he represents.<br \/>\nImagine a Leader...<br \/>\nLet it become a nightmare for a country's dark habits.<br \/>\nLet him disturb us with his honesty, statesmanship and putting the interests of the country before everything else.<br \/>\nLet him be targeted for speaking without relying on lies, for practicing politics without worshipping power.<br \/>\nThis is exactly why Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu is under attack in Turkey today.<br \/>\nPrinciple, Not Personality, is the Target<br \/>\nThe recent campaigns around the CHP headquarters and its parallel media channels have a common language:<br \/>\nPersonalizing responsibility instead of talking about the structural problems of politics.<br \/>\nMPs switch to AK Party; K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu is to blame.<br \/>\nMayors are switching sides; K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu is responsible.<br \/>\nEverything is blamed on a single name so that unprincipled, oppressive, threatening and self-interested schemes are not discussed.<br \/>\nThis is not an analysis; it is a conscious evasion.<br \/>\nPure Changers Change Value<br \/>\nToday's transitions are not the weakness of a leader,<br \/>\nis indicative of the speed with which some politicians are giving up moral resistance.<br \/>\nNobody's transition to the AK Party,<br \/>\nIt is not Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu's fault.<br \/>\nThere is only one explanation for these transitions:<br \/>\nAbandonment of principles.<br \/>\nA Refuge for Those Who Cannot Produce Politics: Agenda through K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu<br \/>\nThe real crisis in the CHP is not a \u201cname crisis\u201d but a crisis of inability to produce politics.<br \/>\nThere is no economic policy to give hope to the society,<br \/>\nThere is no strong framework of law,<br \/>\nthere is no consistency in foreign policy,<br \/>\nThere is no genuine program for social justice.<br \/>\nBut there is only one thing in every debate: Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu.<br \/>\n\u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel and the administration clustered around him have been unable to build their own political existence, so they are trying to destroy the existing one.<br \/>\nBecause if there is nothing new to say, it is the easiest form of politics to denigrate the old.<br \/>\nThis is not a choice but an admission of helplessness.<br \/>\nBeing an Agenda or Creating an Agenda?<br \/>\nPolitics is done not by talking about your opponent, but by talking about the nation's problems.<br \/>\nHowever, the picture seen in the CHP today is as follows:<br \/>\nThere is no agenda, that is why there is an agenda.<br \/>\nAnd this is only possible when Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu's name is mentioned.<br \/>\nIf a president cannot step out of the shadow of his predecessor;<br \/>\nThe problem there is not in the shadow, but in the will that cannot turn on the light.<br \/>\nIt is a Line, not a Name, that wants to be liquidated<br \/>\nThe target is not the person of Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu.<br \/>\nThis is what is being targeted:<br \/>\nMoral politics<br \/>\nAccountability<br \/>\nPrincipled stance<br \/>\nA connection with the people, not with the seat<br \/>\nBecause this line disturbs those who see politics as a field of spoils.<br \/>\nThis is why reputation erosion is preferred over policy making.<br \/>\nScapegoat Politics<br \/>\nTurkish politics is not in a new phase;<br \/>\npersists in an old and bad habit:<br \/>\nProtecting the polluted order by blaming those who remain clean.<br \/>\nThe anger directed at Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu today,<br \/>\nis actually a reflex of non-accountability.<br \/>\nIt is difficult to defend him;<br \/>\nbut it's very convenient to blame him.<br \/>\nA Note to History<br \/>\nThose who remain honest in this country have always been left alone.<br \/>\nBut history has never written them wrong.<br \/>\nKemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu is not the target today;<br \/>\nIt is the legacy of clean politics that will be needed tomorrow.<br \/>\nAnd Turkey will look back one day and see this clearly:<br \/>\nAt a time when unprincipledness is applauded,<br \/>\nThere was a leader who was willing to stay honest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu who is targeted today;
