Elections should not cause tension, no mutual accusations. There will be mutual criticism during the election period. Because the parties have to reveal their differences. In order to be able to do this, it is necessary to show the wrongs of the authorities especially to the people of the opposition and to submit their proposals to the electorate that they can correct these mistakes. Otherwise the parties who have no say about the situation and the future of the country may not even have to go to the elections. However, the work is getting increasingly out of line and the campaign is increased by separating the society into us and them rather than revealing different views. It would not be wrong to think that this attitude was applied by a strategy. If, in an election campaign, the opposition exhibits a unifying attitude and the campaign is fueling the power wing then it may be thought that there is an intention to prevent society from seeing the troubles in the country.
 
For example, the economic crisis that the country is dragged into can no longer be concealed and it has become irrepressible with its pink paintings. The ruling wings however offer this as a game of some external power circles, especially when it comes to dollar, but it does not allow criticism of the opposition as a collaboration between the internal outbreaks, and if it does not look at its own practices, the solution of the problem will not be possible. I’ve been in power for all these years, despite the fact that we could not save the country from foreign dependency in every field need not be a self-criticsm, the country is directed by the opposition and a number of external powers that there is a mistake in this work. Because the first degree of the power is responsible for the problems that the country is rolling into.
 
Whereas, the rightful criticsm of the opposition can be heard; furthermore, negotiations can be held with opposition leaders. Neither power nor the opposition does not lose anything. Only the country wins. Because this type of approach resolves separation.
 
If each criticism is interpreted as betrayal and cooperation with a team of outbreaks, the problems are constantly folding. At this point in the past days the flight of dollar suddenly to 6.20 is expressed the same way. Of course, there are those who fuel it. For example, the global capital circles which are constantly earning money with money, can take a number of steps to make our country dependent on them. But there must be measures to be taken against it. If there is nothing to be done, the power does not have to occupy that seat. 
 
This increase in the dollar reflected the media as “the dollar which rose from 6.02 TL to 6.20, caused the private sector to increase its debt of 220 billion dollars to 40 billion TL in one night. The depreciation of TL has reached 14 percent since the beginning of the year. Doesn’t qualifying this as the game of external circles mean turning off the eyes and the ears? Is not the priority task of the opposition, especially the power, to focus on what can be done in the face of this fact? Currently, the dollar is around 6.20 TL. This affects the prices, increases the livelihood of the people. 
 
The economic crisis is also closely related to foreign policy practices. While it is necessary to identify the wrong applications and to switch to new applications, it is clear that raising tension with a few excuses to hide this fact is not a solution to problems. In this regard, the renewal of the elections in Istanbul will make the excuses more important to maintain the tension policy.
