The steps that could make Recep Tayyip Erdogan president of Turkey for life have begun to unfold.
Erdogan revealed that he plans to change the electoral law, which he had introduced for the election of the president of Turkey, by which the president is elected who receives 50% plus one vote. At the same time, there are also plans to change the Turkish constitution, which will allow the re-election of the president of Turkey without any limits.
" Changing the 50%+1 limit would be effective. If the candidate is elected by a simple majority, the presidential election will be quick, smooth and will not lead to wrong paths. The current demand of 50%+1 is leading down the wrong path ," Erdogan told reporters on his way back from a trip to Germany.
The political turn of the Turkish president on this issue is impressive. " You don't need to be an expert analyst to say that his statements are meant to be at the head of the government always. It's no secret that Erdogan doesn't like to share his power and knows that working with the prime minister sometimes limits the room for maneuver he needs ," said political analyst Mehmet Yilmaz in an article on the 'T24' news site.
The rapprochement that Erdogan is making with many countries in the region, as well as with Greece, does not go unnoticed by analysts.
The newspaper Cumhuriyet claims that the aim of the president of Turkey is to be elected alone in power and remember that Erdogan became prime minister for the first time in 2002, with only 34.2% of the vote.
His goal is to no longer need to cooperate with the nationalists to get rid of the counterweights.
But his partner in the government 50%+1, which is the cornerstone of legalization, also reacted to these plans of Erdogan.
AKP leaders point out that perhaps the president of Turkey is also preparing the future of the country, since if he himself one day retires from politics, it will be almost impossible for any of his successors to have such an appeal. popular and will need lower percentages.
Meanwhile, Cumhuriyet newspaper reports that Erdogan is also planning changes in the constitution, specifically in the article that limits the re-election of the country's president to two terms. The information indicates that in the new article of the constitution this limit can be completely removed, so that there are no restrictions for the re-election of the country's president.
In our conversations with members of the country's social and business elite, the prevailing opinion is that Erdogan, despite his strong rhetoric against the West, Israel and in favor of Hamas, he recognizes the interests of his country and tries not to completely disengage from the West .
For this reason, he declares that he is waiting for an invitation from Joe Biden, who will travel to Europe.
At the same time, on the issue of fighter jets, despite the obstacles, he is now trying to find a solution within NATO, with F-16s and possibly Eurofighters.
