It is an indication of a serious inconsistency that those who challenged the \u201cmassacre\u201d yesterday, turn into the most ardent defenders of the same structure today when the office and political equation changes.<\/p>\n<p>What is more striking is the fact that the structures that claim to have been practicing politics with their own ideological claims for years are now almost entirely acting in the shadow of the CHP leadership. Instead of strengthening their own independent political line, parties such as the Workers' Party of Turkey, the Labor Party and the DEM Party are now aligning behind the CHP leadership in every call.<\/p>\n<p>It is a strange picture:<br \/>\nSome marginalized structures run with flags in their hands to participate in the calls that even the CHP's base keeps its distance from. Those who cannot put forward their own political production appear as if they have turned into the apparatus of another party. This situation inevitably raises the following questions:<\/p>\n<p>Is this support really ideological solidarity?<br \/>\nOr is it a new dependency relationship built around municipalities, cadres, funds, tenders and political rents?<\/p>\n<p>Because today a significant part of the society sees this:<br \/>\nThere is not a single serious self-criticism in the face of all the allegations, corruption debates, delegate negotiations, dirty dealings and moral decay. On the contrary, a reflex is developing that protects rather than questions.<br \/>\nIt's as if the aim is not clean politics, but \u201cdon't let our people get hurt\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It is another irony that those who once sold the people the discourse of \u201cstruggle against the parties of order\u201d are now articulated at the very center of the order. The transformation of those who emerged with the rhetoric of revolution into structures seeking positions in the municipal corridors creates an erosion of trust in society.<\/p>\n<p>People naturally question why associations, foundations and some political structures are still aligned behind the current CHP administration despite all the controversies.<br \/>\nThis is because there is not an independent political stance, but a growing \u201cpolitics of the tail\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And society is now asking:<br \/>\nIs it really a defense of principle, or is it a rush not to be left out of the order of interests?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daha d\u00fcne kadar Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi \u00fczerinden Dersim\u2019i, tek parti d\u00f6nemini ve ge\u00e7mi\u015fin ac\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 siyaset malzemesi yapanlar\u0131n bug\u00fcn ayn\u0131 partinin mevcut y\u00f6netimini \u201cdemokrasi m\u00fccadelesi\u201d ad\u0131 alt\u0131nda sahiplenmesi elbette sorgulanmal\u0131d\u0131r.
