You can't make it

POLITICS SERVICE

The government, which is trying to build a regime without elections, ballot boxes and opposition, continues to clear the way.

The regime, which has been increasing its pressure every day since the March 19 coup, raining down fines on opposition channels, imprisoning journalists, arresting mayors , and trying to silence the opposition with the stick of the judiciary, has recently targeted the CHP mayors of Antalya, Adana and Adıyaman, as a step towards the regime it wants to establish.

The government, which holds the carrot of the resolution process discussions in one hand and the judicial stick in the other, thinks that it can only stay in power by increasing the pressure. The regime, which has placed the CHP in the category of arch-enemy, aims to regain what it lost at the ballot box by collapsing through operations.

The latest operations show that the Palace administration will not hesitate to throw the country into the fire in order to stay in power. The biggest obstacle to the regime construction that accelerated with the March 19 coup was the social opposition that rose up. The rallies that took place all over the country from Saraçhane to Maltepe, from Yozgat to Konya, from Bayburt to Amasya, the university students who broke the barricades on March 19 and brought the country to its feet, the high school students who supported their teachers, the workers, retirees and the unemployed who filled the streets saying they could not make ends meet, found the opportunity for a common struggle against the regime.

As the opposition forces, seeing the weak underbelly of the government, raised their voices louder, the regime attacked more with all the means of the state. Despite all the pressure from the palace administration, the government, which has thrown off the dead soil, will not allow it to build an institutional regime.

WE WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO THIS ORDER

While the CHP did not cancel its “standing up for the will of the people” rally in Amasya this week, the opposition also made statements saying, “We will never bow down to this dirty order that deals a blow to the will of the people.”

Reactions to the palace administration's operation are as follows:

SOL Party : Your tyranny will not work. You will see! Oppression and prohibitions, tyranny and lies, bigots released into the streets... The one-man regime that is in the minority and doomed to collapse is trying every way to stay on its feet. In this way, they are trying to drag our country into totalitarianism without opposition and elections. They will not succeed! We will increase our solidarity and unity in every field against these tyrannies!

EMEP : Stopping the palace regime will be possible by creating a united force. Today is not the day to act with small calculations, but to unite forces and establish an independent, democratic, secular country where all rights will live together under equal conditions.

TKH: The detention of mayors sufficiently explains why the current regime is a regime of despotism. These operations carried out against the main opposition party are nothing more than political operations disguised as law.

TMMOB Board of Directors Chairman Emin Koramaz: “Trying to usurp what was lost at the ballot box through undemocratic means, targeting mayors elected by the people, and trying to create a regime without opposition and elections are shameful in the name of our country’s democracy.”

Mersin Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Vahap Seçer: "Our Mayor, who serves the people he voted for and who acts with the passion to serve their cities and countries, was detained. If the operations are only directed at CHP municipalities, there is no law but a political calculation."

DEM Party: In a statement made by the DEM Party Central Executive Board, the detention of three CHP mayors was reacted to by emphasizing the "resolution process." "We state once again that by deepening the unlawfulness, the greatest damage is being done to the hope for social peace," it was stated.

İYİ Party Leader Müsavat Dervişoğlu said: "There is no need for political commentary; the boss has gone crazy." İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Buğra Kavuncu said: "We are faced with a government administration that has gotten out of control."

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş: “In a system where the law is bent and twisted according to politics, where justice is applied for one group and ignored for another, no one should expect us to trust the rule of law. Law is either for everyone or it is not for anyone!

Union of Turkish Bar Associations: Stating that the Constitutional Court emphasized that freedom-limiting measures such as detention and arrest of elected individuals can only be applied in mandatory and exceptional cases, it stated that "these pose serious problems in terms of the rule of law and democratic competition principles."
