Two and a half months before the elections, the opposition alliance in Turkey bursts – because the head of the second largest party, the nationalist Meral Akşener, is leaving the table. President Erdoğan rubs his hands.
During the two decades of his rule, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has achieved one thing, and no economic crisis or earthquake has changed that: Turkey is sorting itself out around him. This applies to his followers, but also to his opponents. The well-known journalist Kadri Gürsel has just written that there is no bigger political movement in this country than “anti-Erdoğanism”.
