A hero’s welcome for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who as part of his election campaign visited a city in his Turkish electric car, which was filled with… flowers and rose petals!

In fact, Erdoğan was accompanied by hundreds of policemen who pushed people aside to allow the Turkish president to pass.

Criticism of child exploitation

At the same time, however, Erdogan is being heavily criticized for using 10-year-old children for votes.

Sozcu TV host Fatih Portakal blasts Erdogan for attacking Kilicdaroglu during an informal cabinet meeting with children.

As SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from IstanbulApril 23rd is considered a national holiday in Turkey for the establishment of the parliament and it is customary for the ministers in the cabinet to take children and for the Turkish president to give his place to a child for five minutes.

However, at yesterday’s celebration, instead of having a simple dialogue with the children, Erdogan attacked the opposition with the 10-year-olds left with… mouths open.

As Portakal typically comments, “what you will see is a clear example of how Erdogan is squeezed and says ‘I’m losing the elections and what should I do'”.

Erdogan’s dialogue with the children:

Erdogan: This opposition does not understand what we say.. What will we do with them?

Little Girl: So?

Erdogan: We say we found gas. They say ‘where is that?’ We call them on the Black Sea in the Filyos area. If we say ‘hey opposition show us on the map where this area is’, they don’t even know where it is.. While it is in the area of ​​Zogulnak city.

Portakal commented on the dialogue as follows:

“Look, he uses children for his politics. We knew that inside the mosque he practices politics, outside the mosque he still practices politics. But Turkey is seeing this thing for the first time and the children know nothing. We should be sorry for that.

This is a sign that he is helpless. They have made such a scenario that the little girl is amazed, she does not know what to say. Is 10 years old going to deal with current affairs? She will play with her friends in the streets, with her books with her cell phone. Don’t worry about where the gas was found.

They use children in their politics. Look at the kid next to Erdogan who puts his hand over his mouth and thinks ‘what is this man talking about’. But you also exploit children for votes.”
