If opponents undUnterstützer of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are united in one's thing, n it is ir opinion about incapable opposition. SeitErdoğan with its Islamic-nationalist AKP 2002 to Machtkam, pious politician has lost no choice. Undoubtedly, weilunter his leadership Turkey has experienced an immense wirtschaftlichenAufschwung. But certainly also because opposition always danngegened him when it mattered. And now?
Erdoğan calls his political opponents out once more by early Neuwahlenam June 24th. After all prototypes of power, president, with this political move, proves once again what a skillful tactician he is. On one side, presidential UndParlamentswahlen will be held at same time – at a time when Erdoğan is still able to draw Turks ' attention to a growing future. According to experts, situation could worsen significantly next year: The Türkeihat a huge current-account deficit and Turkish Lirabefindet has been plummeting for more than a year. Moreover, many westlicheStaaten have gone as important partners at a distance from Erdoğan's government. Also, Weilseit failed coup attempt 2016 still Ausnahmezustandherrscht and president has ruled Turkey authoritarian.
On or, Erdoğanseine's political opponents have been completely taken by surprise: elections will only take place in November 2019. The short period of election campaign by June leaves little time for opposition to plan. And yet, this time, Erdoğan's calculus has only partially come up. Because opposition parteientun something completely unexpected and new for m: y cooperate.
Who has Erdoğan grown?Since Turks decided in a referendum in April 2017, with now preferred election presidential system Vollumfänglicheinzuführen, everything revolves around one question: WelcherKandidat can it with Erdoğan at Präsidentschaftswahlenaufnehmen?
The most important, because biggest force of opposition's always Diissuer-links-party CHP. The party represents old säkulareEstablishment in Turkey. With 134 MPs in Parlamentbildet, CHP is largest opposition to Erdoğan's ACP. IhrVorsitzender, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, is an intelligent politician who is not tired of runterzurattern social democratic values in interviews. Technically, he is an asset to his party, but 69-year-old does not hold passionate speeches. Against Erdoğan alone, he is too weak and invulnerable.
The second major opposition party, Prokurdish HDP, has been hard hit since Ihrcharismatischer chairman Selahattin Demirtaş is in prison. The Left party is talking about ten to twelve percent of voters. It could have been more, but VieleTürken accuse HDP of being extended arm of PKK. The fights with Kurds, also fuelled by Turkish Government, and ongoing propaganda against m, have made opportunities as a nationwide left-Liberal party small.
Remains third opposition party in parliament, Dierechtsnationalistische MHP. At latest since DemReferendum last year, because of its support for government, it is actually no longer an opponent of Erdoğan. In order to prevent MHP from disappearing in insignificance, its chairman EineAllianz had closed with Erdoğan's ACP and thus made possible dasVerfassungsreferendum last year. The uninstallingfroed old-aged party, however, could remain under ten-percent hurdle at Parlamentswahlim June.
A new party awakens hopesNeverless, it looked as if nationalist alliance of ACP and MHPstabile had 50 percent of vote behind it. But with a new party, Erdoğan's opponents are gaining new Hope: Iyi parti ("Good Party"), founded by MHP-DissidentinMeral Akşener. The conservative nationalist politician Kannfast just as passionately talking about crowds as Erdoğan. Andersals The Islamic AKP, however, promotes it for secular ideology VonStaatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. At same time, Akşener Sichabs and photographs with a headscarf when she is visiting a mosque. This is also good for religious voters. Voters who would not give CHP for too lax and ACP for too authoritarian haltenund out of principle ir voice to Prokurdish HDP, habenmit Iyi parti for first time again an alternative.
