Erdogan and the beginning of the end: Oglu and Babacan parties between lost momentum and hoped-for alliance
The Future as well as the Democracy and
Progress parties are two new parties that come to light in Turkey, from the
womb of the Justice and Development Party, after two of its most important
pillars, Ahmed Davutoglu, the former Prime Minister of Turkey, and Ali Babacan,
the former Minister of Economy, defected against the president's monopoly. This
came in rejection of Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan, power, and tampering with
the country's policies for the sake of personal interest.
Missing momentum
The Future and Progress party did not depart
with the required momentum. When we look at the list of founding members of the
Future Party, we note that Davutoglu did not succeed in including high-caliber
politicians in the political arena, or against the AKP cadres, with the
exception of one or two persons.
Davutoglu failed to attract important people
in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) as they were disaffected by Erdogan
and his poor administration style.
The founding list of the Party for Democracy
and Progress included 90 names, including 27 women, and 16 new faces, and also
included a person born in 1999. The youngest of the names included most notably
Mustafa Yanaroglu, a parliamentarian who resigned from the Justice and
Development Party, Nihad Arjun, Former Industry Minister, Saad Allah Arjeen,
former Minister of Justice, Salma Kouwaf, former Minister of Women, and Ahmed
Adib Ugur, former Governor of the city of Balikesir, Elif Aisen, a former
advisor to the Presidency, while absent persons who were expected to be among
the founders, are forMer President of the Constitutional Court Hashem Klj.
Increased anger and a waiting alliance
Although the Future and the Democracy and
Progress parties did not produce the required momentum, they are able to reverse
the political equation in Turkey, especially since the indicators point to the
end of Erdogan's political end, as evidence of the Justice and Development
Party’s loss of major municipalities in Turkey.
Anger is increasing in Turkey because of the
new presidential system in Turkey, which gave Erdogan unlimited powers,
enabling him to take whatever decisions he wants, such as dismissing the
governor of the central bank, although he has independent powers, which
weakened the popularity of the Justice and Development Party, and certainly
will lead to the end of this tragic era.
