Recent agendas in the country point to significant changes in the political balance between the government and the opposition.
 
To put it on the basis of the existing perception, the government seems to have fallen behind the agenda from the line of "I rule the country and I determine its agenda".
 
Reasons such as the fact that the decisions taken during the pandemic process cause controversy, and that staying at home triggers economic and social unrest may be other factors that increase the pressure of this perception.
 
The fact that the state of preserving its internal integrity, which has been described as the most powerful side of the AK Party since its establishment, has been eroded in the last few years and has turned into an internal struggle and even intervention at the point reached, indicates that things are not going well in terms of the government.
 
It should be pointed out that the point reached with the words "power degenerates, absolute power corrupts absolutely" is not a surprise for the government.
 
Preventing corruption, not being able to prevent it despite being aware of corruption is a difficult process for the government to manage.
 
In a possible election atmosphere, the belief that the AK Party will fall behind the opposition seems to have strengthened compared to the past.
 
Crossing this psychological limit is an important step for the opposition.
 
But I think it is necessary to focus on the opposition here. It is necessary to analyze the opposition and to present its scope and capacity accurately.
 
For example, what is the purpose of the opposition? What do the parties aim in a possible change of power? Unlike the government, what kind of steps is it planning to take in the economy, in foreign policy, in essence, in fundamental issues?
 
The answers to these questions are important so that the voter is not kept in hail while running from the rain. Because for those who hold the triangle of politics-capital and media, for those who want to use the country for their own goals despite the nation, the change of power does not go beyond the "change of staff".
 
Power change for them; It means replacing those who served for their purposes yesterday, replacing worn-out names with polished new names and faces.
 
For example, Turkish political life has generally been shaped by the fact that the political struggle between the government and the opposition is carried out only through the allegations of corruption, by removing the issue from the main course.
 
That is why allegations of corruption often function in a way that "we cannot do it, let's stop them from doing it". There are a lot of examples of the party that accused the other of corruption and revealed that it was corrupt after the change of administration.
 
So it is the "mentality issue" that needs to be discussed and should be brought up. That is why there is a classification called "National Vision (Milli Görüş) and Others".
 
It should be stated loudly that there will be no difference between the politics of the AKP and the politics of the CHP in economy, foreign policy and domestic policy, and that the MHP's approaches and HDP's approaches will not be different.
 
The issue is not that the names of the parties or the prominent politicians are different, but that their mentality is revealed.
 
Note: I congratulate our dear readers, the Milli Gazete family, which I am proud to be a part of, on the Ramadan Eid and wish it to be a means to our two world happiness.
