Those who complained about it yesterday have become part of that decay today.<br \/>\nOnce upon a time, there were three words that were the talk of the town for opposition municipalities:<br \/>\nGarbage, potholes, mud...<br \/>\nIn those days, we could see this clearly: A government that could not clean up its own house was projecting the blame onto others to cover up institutional decay.<br \/>\nBut there was a period...<br \/>\nUnder President Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu, there were municipalities that asked, questioned and produced solutions. The party leadership was able to take a stance despite all the \u201csecret plots\u201d. Because there was a functioning mechanism:<br \/>\nThere was internal audit.<br \/>\nThere were disciplinary processes.<br \/>\nThere was a reflex against corruption.<br \/>\nThere were projects that produced solutions against poverty.<br \/>\nAnd then what happened?<br \/>\n\u201cThat mentality of \u201dso-called change-makers, divisive in essence\" collapsed on the CHP.<br \/>\nAnd from that day onwards, the picture was reversed.<br \/>\nProblems that are ignored when it suits whoever it suits,<br \/>\nConspiracies to win the convention,<br \/>\nThe rotting of a huge plane tree from within.<br \/>\nAt the point we have reached today, we see this clearly:<br \/>\nNot a union of destiny, but a partnership of rent.<br \/>\nCommon interests started to be discussed, not common values.<br \/>\nAnd the most severe consequence of that was this:<br \/>\nThe audit is over.<br \/>\nThe interrogation is over.<br \/>\nThe culture of accountability has disappeared.<br \/>\nNo CHP is asking anymore...<br \/>\nCHP is being questioned.<br \/>\nAnd ironically, that rhetoric that was once directed at others is now sticking to the CHP:<br \/>\nGarbage, potholes, mud...<br \/>\nAnd this time the reasons are clear:<br \/>\nBribery allegations,<br \/>\nDelegate negotiations,<br \/>\nBetrayals,<br \/>\nConspiracies<br \/>\nAnd now a new image:<br \/>\nThe gathering of former MPs in hotel rooms...<br \/>\nSo where is the old reflex?<br \/>\nNo one is asking.<br \/>\nNo one is questioning.<br \/>\nNo discipline.<br \/>\nThere is no internal audit.<br \/>\nThere is no merit.<br \/>\nBut you know what?<br \/>\nThere is the expulsion of patriotic cadres who voiced the problems in the party, who did not shake hands, who objected; in other words, who really worked hard.<br \/>\nThere is a system where the more disgraced one is, the more one tries to cover it up.<br \/>\nAnd here's the thing:<br \/>\nThose who are uncomfortable with purification are those who have already established themselves in the dirt.<br \/>\nSo what is happening today is not a coincidence.<br \/>\nIt is the result of a choice, a mentality and a breakdown.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone knows the extent of the decay in the public sphere today.
