Turkey’s election carries a global lesson: even the best opposition campaign cannot oust a dictator through the ballot box if he controls most media. The world’s democrats must find ways to counter dictators’ advantage with respect to people’s sources of news and entertainment.
Hamas --happy
Turkish Hizbullah--happy
Aliyev --happy
Putin --happy
Clientelist networks, drug cartels, contractors in Turkey --happy
Islamic fundamentalists everywhere --happy
Taxi drivers around the world --happy
What a delightful alliance, surely only good can come of this.
As world leaders congratulate Pres Erdogan this evening, I can't help but think about the journalists, lawyers, doctors, activists, and many others unjustly jailed in Turkey.
Preliminary but fairly clear results from the runoff of the Turkish elections show that President Erdogan will have a historic third term. This has implications for democracy and the economy.
Erdogan turned 🇹🇷 into an autocracy. It was barely impossible to beat the man who puts his opponents in jail, controls media and judiciary.
Despite this, you showed half the country wants a different direction. Keep up hope! And EU may not forget about the democrats in Turkey.
Tsja. Een autocraat ‘alle succes’ wensen en een ‘vriend’ noemen. Omdat je hem nodig hebt om ‘instroom te beperken’ van asielzoekers. 🤢
Fuck alle politieke gevangenen, de Turkse jongeren die in een democratie willen leven, de minderheden die worden onderdrukt.
How Turkey voted:
• Erdogan campaign freely spread fake news, videos, pamphlets targeting Kilicdaroglu, alleging "terrorists back him"
• Kilicdaroglu denied access to information networks to make his case
• First polls since 1950 whereby Turkey resembles a Eurasian autocracy
Question to all EU leaders / PMs congratulating Erdogan with his re-election.
What’s your message to the 25 million people who voted for restoration of democracy and rule of law? Those who believe in EU values? @CharlesMichel@vonderleyen
