There is a short time left for the election, and now that the candidate lists have been submitted to the Supreme Election Board, the parties that entered the elections from now on have to tell the nation what they will do when they come to power. However, the wind blowing from the ruling wing and the statements made inevitably bring to mind the questions as 'opposition parties will enter the elections, will the ruling party and its alliance partners not?' Because in all the statements made, the ruling wing blames the opposition, and besides, they say that even though they have been in power alone for 20 years, they have not done anything they could not do and they will do it in 5 years.
Of course, the spokespersons of every party that enters the elections will make promises to the society, there is nothing strange about this. However, if those who made promises have been in power alone for 20 years, and they show the opposition as responsible for what they want to do or not, it inevitably takes things away from seriousness.
I would like to briefly remind you of some of the statements made by the ruling wing that have been reflected in the media in recent days.
While a minister says, "We will transform Istanbul in 5 years," another official says, "Some people talk, we do business." Another government official explains, "Reconstruction and revival is our job".
Meanwhile, regarding the Presidential Candidate Kılıçdaroğlu, the statement "The nation will teach its lesson" is coming.
In this case, the question remains unanswered whether only the opposition will enter the elections, the ruling wing will not enter the elections, that is, will they not stand in front of the people and demand votes?
In short, we know that a new system has been introduced in our country, but the nation asks the government to account in the elections. Because the opposition is not in the executive office...
Of course, in the elections, politicians are not only held accountable for the administration of the country.
Citizens must ask for account. However, the fact that the spokespersons of the government accuse the opposition in almost all their speeches and act as if the opposition is responsible for what they wanted to do but did not do, diminishes the seriousness of the matter.
I think the government didn't have to wait too long to see how effective it was to try to take shelter in false perceptions by embracing perception operations instead of constantly striving to respond to the needs of our people, perhaps to distract all the negativities from the attention of the society.
Because in democracies, politicians are accountable to the nation through elections, and the will of the nation answers the question of who should rule the country.
Our country, which has been dominated by one-party rule for 20 years, has been dragged into a deadlock, especially in terms of economy.
In other words, besides the fact that those who need to lift the narrow and fixed-income segments of the society out of poverty, they equalize the country in poverty, they also try to avoid the pit of economic disaster that they dragged the country into, by claiming that our country is the Turkey of the century.
Beyond that, they threw toys or tea packages over the bus to the citizens in the squares. Needless to say, I don't think that's true. If the job was to give a gift to those gathered in the square, throwing a gift on the head of a citizen was rightly criticized for a long time.
In the meantime, the fact that the ruling wing has made a divisive and moreover a style of fighting for years has constantly increased the tension. If the discomfort felt by this discriminatory style is reflected in the ballot box, I think the voters will hold those responsible, namely those in power, to account.
Beyond that, while the ruling wing finds itself the right to ally with any party it wants, when it comes to the Nation's Alliance, the labeling of table of six as a 7-legged table has been going on for months.
The unity, which the opposition described as the Nation Alliance, could not become a Nation Alliance on the ruling front.
While the ruling wing described itself as the People's Alliance, they preferred to describe the Nation Alliance as an alliance of contempt.
I think the main issues that the voters should hold to account are in the government.
Whatever it is, there is no need to rush to see if our hair is white or black.
