Magic Formula Finally Found

Yes, the magic formula seems to have been found. It seems possible for both mayors, who have the favour of the public, to have a say in the administration with a legal arrangement to be made after the election is won. There are also practices in the world.

The latest developments on the opposition front reminded me of a scene from Yılmaz Erdoğan's famous film Vizontele.

When he saw the television for the first time, Yılmaz Erdoğan in the character of Emin, the madman of the village, took a look and said, "I thought of this".

I had written a long time ago that the national alliance should announce its candidate with his/her accompanying team.

However, I have to tell a lie, I must say that it did not occur to me that the situation could be solved in this way.

Yes, the magic formula seems to have been found. 

It seems possible for both mayors, who have the favour of the public, to have a say in the administration with a legal arrangement to be made after the election is won. There are also practices in the world.

Of course, I am not sure whether there was a need for such a crisis to find this formula.

Shouldn't both leaders, who have so many years of political experience, be expected to sit down and discuss all kinds of options on the table and look for solutions at the table instead of bickering in front of the media all this time?

OK, Mr Kılıçdaroğlu may now intend to complete his political life as president. 

I do not want to be misunderstood when I say this. 

It is true that for the future of the country, Mr Kılıçdaroğlu has dragged the party to a transformation line by confronting many different political views within and around the CHP and, when necessary, by removing the opposing cadres from the party with the advantages of being the party chairman. 

I know very well that he did not want anything for his own career in this endeavour.

I think it is not possible to believe that he wants the presidential candidacy only because of his personal ambition. 

Probably because he could not find any other way out and the general opinion of the party was in this direction, he may have had to put forward his candidacy. We can draw this conclusion from the fact that he pushed this option away twice before.

This time he could have agreed to nominate someone else, but the importance of the other candidates' tasks probably made it impossible to nominate mayors.

However, whatever the reason, if there was such a big objection from the IYI Party front, I think that this objection had to be evaluated in time.

Let's come to the Mr Akşener front.

I have to make the same criticism to Mrs Meral.

Instead of saying "Mr Kılıçdaroğlu, you cannot be elected", which was expressed with the discourse of "candidate to be elected" in every possible environment, why was it not considered to find a solution to the problem together, rather than creating a crisis for the sake of breaking the table at the last stage?

Mr Kılıçdaroğlu and Mr Akşener have met many times together with the knowledge of the media and discussed the issues of those days between them.

Even if they say that we never discussed this issue, this discourse has no credibility in the eyes of anyone. This issue has probably come up many times between them.

In the last exit of Mrs Meral, especially the accusations she made for the other members of the table, I should not comment too much, saying that these are problems that they should solve among themselves.

There is only one thing I will say about this issue, unfortunately, with this exit, despite all his experience, he has shown us that he has not yet cooked enough in the political arena.

I had interpreted this as political suicide. 

I still insist on this interpretation. 

Fortunately, the other parties of the alliance of nations prevented this suicide attempt and the table was prevented from completely falling apart.

Now this crisis will naturally have after-effects. 

However, what needs to be done as a priority is to urgently clean all Trojan horses, not only in the IYI Party, but also in other parties, if any, which I am sure that there are Trojan horses in other parties as well.

Remember, the party that benefits from this crisis and smiles the most is obvious. They even made fun of the Iranian proverb. 

They sat, they talked, they dispersed!

I've written before, if you want to win this election, focus on the earthquake neighbourhoods!

Prepare visuals, show people what you will do and how you will do it.

Give people hope!

Look, during the earthquake, eight patients and a baby in intensive care in a private hospital lost their lives because the electricity was cut off in the hospital. However, the rescue team that reached there two days later realised the situation.

Thousands of people whose homes and businesses have been destroyed, whose lives have been ruined, do not know what to do, and there are so many legal problems to be solved.

There are so many problems like these that if you, as the opposition, do not stand by those people today, even if you say tomorrow that this government has done these things to you, it will not do much good.

People want help, but they want hope more than help.

Be a table of hope, not a table of crisis!

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
