The meltdown in power is reflected in the squares after the polls. While tens of thousands of citizens attended the anniversary events of the treacherous coup attempt on July 15 last year, this year the turnout was very weak. The participation of a handful of citizens in President Erdogan's later public inauguration programs in Istanbul Eyüpsultan and Kayseri revealed the meltdown in the Justice and Development Party (AKP). The fact that the citizens did not show interest in the activities of the government was interpreted as giving up hope from the government.
The meltdown in power was also reflected in the squares after the polls! In the government, which was seen to have lost a significant part of the votes in the recent polls, it was also reflected in President Erdogan's square speeches. It was noteworthy that a handful of citizens came to the last speeches of Erdoğan, who had filled the rally squares before.
CAUSED TO THE COLD SHOWER
Public opinion polls show that the vote rate of the 20-year AKP rule has fallen below 30 percent. Including economic problems firstly, while the problems experienced in justice, health and education have caused the votes of the government to melt away, the steps taken have not yet been the result of the government's will. After the low rate of votes in the polls and the empty squares in the anniversary programs of President Erdogan's July 15 treacherous coup attempt held in Istanbul and Kayseri caused a cold shower effect.
AFTER POLLS, THE SQUARES ARE EMPTY TOO!
While tens of thousands of citizens participated in the anniversary events of the previous July 15 treacherous coup attempt, a handful of citizens attended this year's programs. While the weak participation in the events created a cold shower effect in the government, especially in President Erdoğan, it was noteworthy that the situation was not different in the following events. While the citizens did not show any interest in the mass opening ceremony held by President Erdogan in Istanbul Eyüpsultan, a day later the squares remained empty in Kayseri, which was seen as the stronghold of the AKP. Squares are also empty after polls revealed that the citizens had given up hope of power.
