Who has Erdoğan grown?
Since Turks decided in a referendum in April 2017, with now preferred election presidential system Vollumfänglicheinzuführen, everything revolves around one question: WelcherKandidat can it with Erdoğan at Präsidentschaftswahlenaufnehmen?
The most important, because biggest force of opposition’s always Diissuer-links-party CHP. The party represents old säkulareEstablishment in Turkey. With 134 MPs in Parlamentbildet, CHP is largest opposition to Erdoğan’s ACP. IhrVorsitzender, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, is an intelligent politician who is not tired of runterzurattern social democratic values in interviews.

The second major opposition party, Prokurdish HDP, has been hard hit since Ihrcharismatischer chairman Selahattin Demirtaş is in prison. The Left party is talking about ten to twelve percent of voters. It could have been more, but VieleTürken accuse HDP of being extended arm of PKK. The fights with Kurds, also fuelled by Turkish Government, and ongoing propaganda against m, have made opportunities as a nationwide left-Liberal party small.
Remains third opposition party in parliament, Dierechtsnationalistische MHP. At latest since DemReferendum last year, because of its support for government, it is actually no longer an opponent of Erdoğan. In order to prevent MHP from disappearing in insignificance, its chairman EineAllianz had closed with Erdoğan’s ACP and thus made possible dasVerfassungsreferendum last year. The uninstallingfroed old-aged party, however, could remain under ten-percent hurdle at Parlamentswahlim June.
A new party awakens hopes
Neverless, it looked as if nationalist alliance of ACP and MHPstabile had 50 percent of vote behind it. But with a new party, Erdoğan’s opponents are gaining new Hope: Iyi parti (“Good Party”), founded by MHP-DissidentinMeral Akşener. The conservative nationalist politician Kannfast just as passionately talking about crowds as Erdoğan. Andersals The Islamic AKP, however, promotes it for secular ideology VonStaatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. At same time, Akşener Sichabs and photographs with a headscarf when she is visiting a mosque. This is also good for religious voters. Voters who would not give CHP for too lax and ACP for too authoritarian haltenund out of principle ir voice to Prokurdish HDP, habenmit Iyi parti for first time again an alternative.
