Bahceli: Street Calls are Not Innocent – Latest News from Türkiye
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahceli Speaks Out Against Street Protests and Opposition Calls
In a recent interview with the newspaper Türkgün, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahceli addressed the current issues on the agenda, specifically focusing on street protests and opposition calls for demonstrations. Bahceli expressed his concerns about the impact of street events in Türkiye, emphasizing the high social cost that has been paid in the past.
Bahceli stated, “Street events in Türkiye and the painful experiences of the past have not yet been forgotten. The social cost of the street events was very high in terms of both revolutionaries and idealists.” He emphasized that the economic, social, and political price paid by Türkiye is still remembered by the nation.
Regarding the calls for street protests by opposition groups, Bahceli criticized the idea that taking to the streets would provide a solution to any conflicts. He questioned how inevitable conflicts could be prevented if people are encouraged to participate in such events, and he warned against the presence of provocateurs who may exploit and exacerbate tensions.
In response to claims that President Erdogan holds too much power as a single leader, Bahceli argued that democracy is upheld through the national will of the people, not by attributing all authority to one individual. He stressed that the presidential government system represents a phase of national unity and solidarity in Türkiye’s history.
Bahceli also denounced calls for boycotts by the CHP, warning that those who seek to undermine the political stability and democratic process of Türkiye will face consequences. He further cautioned against any attempts to incite violence or disruption through street protests.
In conclusion, Bahceli reaffirmed his belief in the importance of a strong state, effective governance, and democratic stability. He emphasized the need for balance and accountability within the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. Bahceli urged all political parties and media outlets to uphold democratic principles and refrain from inciting unrest or violence in Türkiye.
