The people on the stage are dressed in different costumes, but they all have one thing in common: Not to show their real faces to anyone. Because if their real faces were revealed, they wouldn't even be able to enter that hall.<\/p>\n<p>People from the pavilion tables, FET\u00d6's former \u201cenlightened\u201d cadres, DHKP-C's street terrorists, Adnan Oktar's followers waiting for \u201csalvation\u201d, Ekrem \u0130mamo\u011flu's \u201cmunicipal tender\u201d team, old thieves, new thieves, whoever comes to mind... They are all in the same hall, at the same table, clinking glasses. There seems to be an ideological gulf between them, but in fact there is a very strong bond that unites them all: \u201ctaking refuge in the CHP\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The CHP, which once boasted that it was \u201cAtat\u00fcrk's party\u201d, has now embraced the CHP in such a way that if Atat\u00fcrk were to rise from his grave, he would be dumbfounded and say, \u201cWhat is this?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A FET\u00d6 member says \u201cI am secularist too\u201d and wears a mask.The DHKP-C member says, \u201cI am also a republican\u201d and wears the mask.The followers of Adnan Oktar say, \u201cWe are also in favor of scientific thought\u201d, but wear the mask.\u201cSocial democrats\u201d raised in a pavilion culture say, \u201cWe are also populists\u201d and wear the mask.The thieves wear the thickest mask: \u201cWe fight against corruption\u201d, they say.<\/p>\n<p>They are all playing the same game: They hide their own agendas, their own interests, their own dirty pasts under the roof of the CHP while presenting a \u201csecular, republican, Kemalist\u201d image on the outside. The party charter is no longer the party charter, but the mask charter. It is not clear who is what; the only thing that is clear is that they are all united in the project of \u201cmaking Ekrem \u0130mamo\u011flu the president\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it is not surprising.What happens when a party loses its ideology, its principles, its history? This is exactly what happens. It turns into a \u201crented hall\u201d where everyone takes refuge, everyone uses it, everyone eviscerates it. The CHP has become exactly that hall today. It says \u201cOpen to everyone\u201d on the door, but everyone who enters is masked.<\/p>\n<p>The masquerade is going on.The music is playing, the lights are flashing, the costumes are shining.But one day, when the lights go out and the masks fall, what will be left?<\/p>\n<p>An empty hall, broken glasses and a story that begins with \u201cOnce upon a time there was the Republican People's Party\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>No one will be able to tell that story with conviction anymore.Because no one showed their true face at the masquerade.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when a party loses its ideology, its principles, its history?<\/p>","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":285580,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-285579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-yazarlar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285579"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285581,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285579\/revisions\/285581"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
