How logical was Kılıçdaroğlu's last exit?

Let's say we are in a municipal bus, it is very crowded inside, especially in front of the door, there are noises coming from inside, let's move forward please. 

Imagine that the driver makes a sudden brake to correct this situation, in a sense to control the situation. 

A brake so hard that everyone is almost knocked down. Everyone is surprised, those who can hold on to something are not affected much by the hard brake, but those in the cramped section are almost knocked down. Maybe some of them are almost suffocating from the pressure of the people.

Do you think the driver did the right thing? And with such a sudden and meaningless move at such an unexpected moment?

This is what Kılıçdaroğlu's latest outburst made me feel.

What was the problem? The country is not governed well, there is no merit, the economy is a mess, poverty is rampant. Repression regime, censorship law, social degeneration, and many other problems.

But instead of coming up with solutions to this situation, instead of explaining your solutions to the people, instead of strengthening the ties that should be stronger at the barely established national table, you bring up a completely different issue as if it will help. Why?

By attracting all the lightning, you are in a sense presenting the very opportunity the government is looking for on a silver platter, you are a breath of fresh air for the government, which is already overwhelmed by the problems on the agenda, you are a pathway for a completely different agenda, just as the government wants. 

Has this exit been thought through enough. According to the backstage information received by press members close to the opposition, no! 

Even within the party, although you received confirmation yesterday that you are behind me, you are causing different voices to rise with this exit. So you have not exchanged enough information even within the party on this issue. Different voices continue to emerge and even these first reactions are immediately used as black propaganda material for the government.  

Was this exit decided by a joint decision at the national table? Again no! Different interpretations are immediately made. Obviously this issue has not come up at the table before.

However, what is this now, when we were barely able to prevent the discussions that emerged in the past weeks? Why is there still no announcement after a joint decision?

Yes, the intention is clear. There is perhaps a very innocent reason, which we can summarize as a way of making amends. 

This is actually a response to a question that comes up a lot during shopkeeper visits and exchanges of views with the public in various ways, a response to a reservation. 

It is an answer to the hesitation of the pious whether or not their gains will be jeopardized if the opposition comes to power. No, your gains will not be jeopardized! 

The headscarf issue, which has been on the government's lips for so many years and has become a propaganda-oriented fear-mongering discourse, is now an effort to take a precaution and put a stop to bad propaganda.

So from this point of view, it seems like a logical exit. It is almost a self-criticism on the part of the opposition of the mistakes made in the past years on this issue. 

But as in the example I gave at the beginning, this exit had the effect of a driver suddenly slamming on the brakes, perhaps turning the steering wheel sharply to the left or right. I mean, I think the method is wrong, it is an exit without much thought, that's where the mistake is. Otherwise, the essence of this exit is not wrong!

Moreover, it was an unexpected opportunity for the government!

Let's see, they have now brought the constitutional amendment to the agenda. But with a hot sauce on the side. Let's take measures to strengthen the concept of family while we're at it, they say. Who can object? 

This is a powerful enough rhetoric, even if the aim is a completely different kind of oppression. The family! Sacred in all cultures! 

If you object to this regime of oppression and say no, I only support the headscarf issue, who will hear you? 

You will be forced to say no to the constitutional amendment proposal in order to stand against the different aims of the government and its intention to restrict freedoms. Because the government will accuse you of not being sincere about the headscarf issue in its rhetoric, while causing you to say no by inserting other amendments it wants in addition to the main issue, as it does every time. The headscarf issue will again be the main topic in their discourse.

Who will people believe? You or the government? As I said, you can't make your reasons heard as much as you want. Under the influence of the government in this media network, your voice will not reach the circles you want to be heard. 

Moreover, people hear what they want to hear and close their ears to what they don't want to hear. This behavior has almost become a social disease. 

Yes, this outburst was a test of sincerity, a litmus paper. But you will also be subjected to this test. Moreover, the result will be transmitted to the public by the government. In other words, the litmus paper may or may not be wrong, but even if it is not, at least the direction the government points, in a sense the perception will be like that. 

So was it worth it, did this sudden outburst achieve its goal? 

I think time will tell the outcome, but for now it seems to have backfired with the government raising its hand. At least this propaganda has already started. What else did you expect, haven't you figured out the tactics all these years? 

Maybe this exit has found a place in people's conscience, maybe it has been accepted in silent hearts. But it will still not be enough to change the perception that Mr. Kemal is a good person and has good intentions, but the CeHaPe mentality is corrupt. Is the aim to glorify Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu or to lead the party to power? 

I think it will not work in the short term. Because for now, this exit is perceived by the louder voices as a goal pass. Naturally, the government is eager to score. Let's see how far it will go. 

My personal opinion on this issue is actually not very important, but as I have written in my previous articles on clothes and beliefs, I respect whoever wears what they want, whoever believes what they believe, I respect them all. 

However, my main criticism on this particular issue is that there is no need for such hard brakes in the first place. 

In the remaining narrow period, common sense and discourse will have more power, and the common language and views in the opposition's discourse will have more impact in front of the society.

As I always say, I think it is much more important to put forward the solutions that can bring this country back on track with a discourse that everyone can understand, even at a level that I can understand. 

The solution is common sense, there is no other solution! 

Of course, I think it is more important that the products of common sense are expressed only by the spokespersons of the national table, that they show and prove to the society that they are united. 

This is how it looks from here, I just wanted to express my humble opinion.

Love and regards to everyone from Moscow
