The Turkish president has opened the “box” of benefits, in an attempt to change the image of the economy
By Antonis Anzoletou
June 18 seems very far away for Tayyip Erdoğan and everything is now converging that he is looking to bring the elections closer to his country. The “people’s baths” seem to be sacred in Turkey as well.
The “box” with benefits has been opened by the Turkish president in an attempt to change the bad image of the economy. 25% increase in public pensioners, but also in civil servants, increase in the basic salary by 50%, retirement of 2.5 Turkish citizens. And it goes on and on.
It is clear that the date of the elections in the neighboring country does not affect his plans in any way Kyriakou Mitsotakis. From the dates that have fallen on the table so far, everything shows that the polls in Greece will come first, since it is possible that they will be set up in early April. In Turkey, if Erdoğan ultimately resorts to the popular verdict prematurely, either April 30 or May 14 will be preferred.
Omer Çelik left open the possibility of the elections being held sooner and now there is a fever all over the Turkish territory. What does he want to achieve? Erdogan; To put the opposition to sleep. After the case of the conviction of Ekrem Imamoglu, he saw that the parties criticizing him are not ready to decide who will be his opponent. It is obvious that he does not want to give them more time to unite and rally against him. His purpose is to put pressure on his opponents and push them to confront each other. What he has achieved, to have only his own voice heard before the elections, he wishes to continue. At the same time, if the political developments take place, the benefits that have been introduced in response to the inflationary crisis that is plaguing small businessmen, workers and households will also be “fresh”. In all countries the “economy” wins the elections and Turkey could not be an exception to the rule.
All the moves he makes from now on have an electoral sign. Even the meeting Blinken – Cavusoglu in Washington on the 18th of the month shows that the channels of communication with the US are open and that a visit by Erdogan himself to the US capital cannot be ruled out. With the four, he wants to signal that the dream of buying the F-16 remains alive despite the war that has been declared against it by the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Robert Menendez. The nationalist outbursts are not going to stop, as he is sure to attract a certain “militant” audience who share his revisionist ideas.
