Turkey is going to the elections!
Election will be held on May 14!
This election is very different from previous elections!
Will we see “embracing discourse” win in the 14 May elections, or “polarizing discourse”?
The tension in the country's politics is very high due to the "polarizing" discourses!
Some people are trying to make people who have different views on the solution of the country's problems see each other as "enemy" rather than "competitors".
They are trying to camp the people on the street by presenting themselves and those who think like them as "patriots" and those with different opinions as "traitors"!
Some, on the other hand, prefer "embracing" discourses instead of such "polarizing" discourses, and try to create an "friendly atmosphere" among citizens.
The most vivid example of this is the "leaders of the six parties" representing different world views, coming together to "think about" the country's issues and "search for a common solution".
Of course, this search does not mean that the leaders of the six parties have "abandoned" the ideas and thoughts they have defended until now!
So six parties do not become one party!
It is determined that these parties, which represent only different worldviews, can act together on "what common points".
This means that it is possible to sit around a table and look for solutions to common problems without insulting each other and seeing each other as enemies.
In the election, these two options will be in front of the nation!
Those who are in favor of a polarizing discourse!
And those who oppose this and want to establish a bond of friendship between citizens with an embracing discourse!
The people will look at the statements of both sides and make their decision.
It will be up to us to respect this decision.
Yes, the choice will be whatever your nation says!
