The ruling wing announced that they agreed on a 7 percent electoral threshold. This means that Turkey has entered the election atmosphere. It would not be the right approach to consider every step to be taken and every decision to be taken independently of the elections after this time.
As it is known, when the flood disasters and forest fires in various provinces of our country were added to the economic difficulties caused by the epidemic conditions, the degree of these difficulties increased even more. In the opinion polls published by research companies, economic problems are definitely among the first three headings. The problem of subsistence always determines the main agenda of families. In addition, with the hikes in electricity and natural gas, the efforts of low-income families to bring the end of the month have been hit after blow. In general, bill payments accounted for about twenty-five percent of families' monthly expenditures, while with the latest hikes, this rate has reached forty percent. Bill payments have come to the point where they almost compete with kitchen expenses. In the meantime, it is not overlooked that the government does not seek any other alternatives other than raises and tax peace in order to create resources.
Struggling with a foreign debt of approximately 500 billion dollars, Turkey is also trying to repay its due debts by borrowing at interest rates far above the world markets. For a few years, this understanding has turned into a vicious circle. How far will the strategy of keeping the economy afloat with continuous debt rollovers go? There is no possibility or possibility to continue this until the end. Turkey has an obligation to create new resources as soon as possible. The most important resource should be to put an end to waste and extravagance. Citizens began to cry because the wrong decisions directly touched their own pockets. Whoever you touch, you come across the voiced ahhs.
On the other hand, the current Presidential Government System continues to justify those who voice the possible dilemmas of this system. We have previously written and conveyed our opinions that this executive model is "a trap set for Turkey and the AK Party". In the course of time, many more details of this trap have emerged. While the appointment of any director of a district is made, turning eyes to the President, who is both the head of the state and the executive, causes not only rapid decision-making, but also makes the established mechanism even more cumbersome.
The ministers have almost reached a point where they are even more incompetent than the former undersecretaries. The fields of initiative have narrowed considerably. Every person who starts a speech feels the need to send a message to the President. I praise some of them, but some of them act with the wrong attitude of firstly getting the President to like them. Of course, they have responsibilities to the President who appointed him, but presenting this as their primary duty and referring to it as if it is their primary duty creates a disgrace in the eyes of the citizens and as if they were brought to this duty even though they did not deserve it.
We have previously stated that the biggest problems of this system are that it is closed to balance and control, does not take transparency into account, and makes the Assembly weaker. In addition, we tried to explain that this system does not act sensitively in preserving the corporate mind. We have shown that rather than what the name of a system is, it is necessary to look at how compatible it is with the separation of powers. Whether it is a presidential or a parliamentary system, Turkey has to care about institutional mind building. Turkey can go on with both, but the spirit of the system should be equipped with the principles mentioned above.
However, processes that cause individual approaches to directly endanger the future of a country or a nation may cause vital problems to be faced in the future. In addition, as of the point reached, postponing the problems rather than solving them is preferred and saving the day is prioritized. Citizens continue to watch all these events silently and deeply.
As a result, in this period when the election will be talked about a lot from now on, Turkey will make intense evaluations on the economic problems and the government system. It will not be possible for those who cannot take a step on these two topics to be successful and to find solutions to the nation's problems.
