Isnt Erdogan going to make this NOT happen?
There is a good political analyst on France 24 (He’s the North-Africa expert of the news outlet) called Ziyad Limam. He said some 3 months ago (that’s before the earthquake) that “he would be very surprised if the President for 29 more Days wouldn’t be elected again”.
I came on a very good article today. His party is making it difficult for earthquake victims who have mostly moved to new locations (there is about 1 million of them) to vote from these locations and there is no way all of them are going to be able to return to the affected regions in order to vote from there.
Dead people are probably going to vote. The official number of deceased people is about 50,000. But there are as many people who are said to be “missing”. So that’s his second rabbit coming out of the hat.
Otherwise he has this mass of fanatical supporters who are being constantly brainwashed by the state-controlled media + highly influenced internet + social media.
But the other element is that we are not complete morons. Most of us are now aware that this election is existential for us. It’s like the Maidan / honor revolution of Ukraine or the election of Lula in Brazil. If we lose we are more or less F…ed. Meaning that the whole country will surrender itself to some Salafist or Iran Backed religious sects, drug mafias and become the puppet of Gulf countries, Russia and mostly Iran. So it will be the puppet of puppet states. And people now are seeing that and people (from every side of the political spectrum) don’t want that.
+ The country is in a difficult situation in all areas. The President for 29 more days does not have the capacity, the intellectual support (meaning politicians, technocrats, experts who are able to make things happen) or even the will to make things better. So my point of view is the opposite of Mr. Ziyad Limam. I would surprised if we were unable to send him away this time
