While there was an expectation that the 6-party table would disperse with the election law proposal of Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), 6 leaders came together and gave the message that the table would become stronger. The leaders, who exhibited ‘strong cooperation and determined stance’, also failed the election law move of the government with the working groups they would establish!
Turkey was focused on the 2nd meeting of 6 political party leaders the previous day. While it was wondered whether the 6 political parties would continue together after the Election Law proposal submitted by the ruling party and its partner MHP to the Parliament, the leaders gathered under the hosting of the Democracy and Progress Party (Deva) nullified the government's move.
CANDID PHOTOS ARE GIVEN
The press showed great interest in the Leaders' Summit, which started at 19,30 the previous day. The press wondered whether the 6-party table would continue, especially after the AKP and MHP's election law proposal. However, the meeting lasted for 5 hours, like the first one, with the host Babacan welcoming the guest political party leaders at the door and giving candid photos failed the expectations of the ruling wing. After the proposal of the People's Alliance (Cumhur İttifakı), there was an expectation that the alliances would no longer matter and that the 6-way table would disintegrate. However, the start of the meeting in a warm and friendly atmosphere and the ‘strong cooperation and determined stance’ in the shared text later turned all the plans of the People's Alliance upside down. The announcement that a working group on election law and ballot box security would be established in the joint text also revealed the determination that the 6-way table will continue until the elections.
CITIZENS' HOPE HAS INCREASED
The weather at the Leaders' Summit and the statements in the joint text after it aroused excitement in the public. Citizens, who had no hope for the future, saw light at the end of the tunnel with the first meeting on February 12. And the crowning of this light with the launch at the Bilkent Hotel on February 28 strengthened the hopes of the citizens. However, the best answer to the citizens who think that their hopes will fall into the water again with the election law proposal, came from the 2nd meeting. Citizens have also increased their belief that this table will not fall apart and that it will continue until the end.
