At no point in history has a regime collapsed simply because it was rotten to the core. The opposition must shake off its passivity of waiting for the next election and the comfort of hoping the ruling party will collapse of its own accord.
The regime, unable to respond to the citizens’ pressing demands, seeks a solution in manipulating the agenda. Whilst the people wish to make it known that they are struggling to make ends meet, the political establishment is debating issues that suit the Palace’s agenda.
Every development, from Mansur Yavaş’s stance to the transfers at the municipality, highlights the necessity of a complete rejection of the regime. Genuine change comes not merely from saying ‘We will win’, but also from stepping outside the game set up by the Palace and uniting the people’s genuine demands under a common struggle.
Whilst the regime consolidates its political power through mechanisms ranging from the judiciary to the bureaucracy, it is rendering society powerless by instilling a sense that ‘nothing will change anyway’. Whilst the opposition has not been effective enough in dispelling this sentiment, the fact that the debate centres solely on the ‘ballot box’ is delaying the necessary actions.
