Why Europe is desperate to see Erdogan lose

Europe prays for Erdogan's downfall. In so doing, it is giving the Turks the biggest reason why they should make their own minds up if they want to keep the independence for which their country has struggled for so long argues David Hearst

One correction, while Erdogan runs the country & runs for the elections at the same time, he doesn’t sleep. And as he said, not all media are siding with him. There are lots of channels in Turkey who are lying about him & he is disadvantaged as people watch KZbin to get news. The opponent sleeps well. He has nothing to worry.

[@Uefsa]

It can be true but in Turkey you can't do anything. You can't buy meat, you can't do hobbies. Why? Because Erdoğan is putting %300 taxes on literally everything. Where does that money go? In Erdoğan's pocket. The minimum wage in Turkey is just 329 dollars. You can say "But everyone earns more than minimum wage." No, it doesn't work like that in Turkey.

Yeah, and this sort of threatens their image as the bastion of social liberalism, which they aspire the whole of Europe to be. And Europe always talks down to America, and while there are many legitimate issues of the United States, the US is actually ideologically different from Europe. America is based upon the ideals of classical liberalism (where rights and freedoms are fundamental) and based its legal system on common law. Why does this have anything to do with Turkey and Erdogan? It's because Europeans have managed to conflate Euro flavor of liberalism as the ultimate symbol of being advanced and civilized, and if they don't like even America taking a different path (even liberal Americans are mostly too "right" for Europe, and they are part of "the West"), they definitely won't like it if Turkiye decides to be carve its own way of doing things. I do think it is as simple as that.

[@TruthShallSetYouFree2023]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂religious practising disneyland.

[@lif6737]

I don’t think they frankly care about his religiosity. The West has worked with fundamentalist and the ultra-religious plenty of times. Common interests can often trump ideological beliefs. The issue is that Erdogan plays both sides yet is entangled in Western alliances and institutions. If Erdogan wants to pursue a separate foreign policy, that’d be fine, but we can see in situations like Sweden’s NATO ascension, that Turkey is happy to leverage its ties to the West to harm Western interests while also distancing itself from the West. If Turkey does not wish to be part of Europe it shouldn’t then try to sabotage Europe.

[@snakejuce]

Absolutely spot-on and accurate. Though regarding the economy, he did also pull the economy up when it was low....

He said "economy is good, I am economist" but there is no truth. He tried to say lies at every second time. That's why many Turkish people know how he making fun of Turkish people. Otherwise, of course Erdogan did good jobs but that's now enough. While he has good things to do, he also has bad things. He brought Syrians and Afghans to Turkey. A few years later, Syrians and Afghans will say that they should have a voice in Turkey. Then what will the Turkish people do? Erdogan has already said many times in the media that he does not welcome the concept of "Turkishism" and that such a thing should not happen.

As a Dutch citizen with a Turkish nationality, I proudly voted for Erdoğan today.

[@nmii8074]

'today' om 4 uur in de nacht vay be ahah Allah kabul etsin =D

[@emirhanbayraktar348]

It's so hypocrite to live in west and still vote for Erdogan.

[@fbabarbe430]

Because you are living in a dilusional bubbel and not in any country you are refering to.( Turkye or the Netherlands.)

[@euyie8738]

Following the 1994 local elections, Erdoğan was elected mayor of Istanbul as the candidate of the Islamist Welfare Party. He was later stripped of his position, banned from political office, and imprisoned for four months for inciting religious hatred, due to his recitation of a poem by Ziya Gökalp. There’s no such thing as total freedom even when Turkey was under pro secular/ west rule. The west doesn’t really care who rule Turkey..as long as the country bend to their will.

[@arshiashah8822]

Did you read the poem he read. It doesn’t contain any hatred. The hatred was from them against Islam. They imprisoned him because the poem was praising Islam.

[@mosidadiedericks5873]

Spot on, it because he is Muslim,and not a Hypocrite like Most Muslim Leaders. And of course he is not Perfect, but then again Who is?!!. 👌🌹🕋🇿🇦

As a Turk thank you for this perspective. It's really hard to find this perspective in Turkey because we eat propaganda like we drink tea. Very often!

[@AbdulAli786o]

Turkey has been trying to westernize for the past century. Most likely why Erdogan is not too popular in Turkey.

[@senasezer422]

Well the opposition supporters report that they would rather vote for a pair of slippers instead of Erdoğan, so the competition isn't very intense on their part.

West played games with Erdoğan acting big n royal as usual. Anyone pulling out of these games is called rogue n branded with negative terms. Following the toe would not help,it would lead to dictations. So where can you win? West has to learn to Respect countries n sort out issus with dialogue,Not impose.

Western politicians believe strongly about their weaknesses and they know if powerful figures develop from brave nations they can challenge their authorities. they want succumbing leadership around the world who will bow down to their hegemony.

[@mickelet5234]

Unfortunately NATO is predominantly European Caucasian they haven't been very welcoming to other nations joining them, and making excuses for accepting countries into there circle. With this sad result we have a war in Ukraine, we have a waiting list that has been endless for countries to join. And BRICS are obviously friendlier players looking for a more diverse cultural sustainable reality. Where there partners are leaders of foreign countries which makes it way more approachable for others to join. It's like children in the playgrounds refusing each other to join there groups, in the end the kids that where rejected grow to much greater people than those that tried to reject or put them on hold. It's basic physical laws of the Universe. What goes around comes back around. If you weren't very kind in the past to other nations, well you will have to also learn some lessons. We don't even have to mention some of the past events in regards to oppression, wars, slavery etc. Keep your doors open for those in need. You will see how they help you grow.

[@alioshax7797]

They favor the candidate the most aligned with their values. I don't see why it would be "disgusting". Everyone does that. It's just that other people read western news. Would you blame a right-wing newspaper to favor a right-wing candidate in a national election, or a lef-wing newspaper favoring a left-wing party ?

Waw justice stands out like the words of this gentleman one thing I will disagree with is that erdegon made huge mistakes when it comes to the economy, well that is not entirely true rather the west are fighting turkey and have been doing so for a long time but no matter what the west does the turkish people love their country and they know what Erdogon has done for turkey and where he brought it from turkey for the turkish people ❤

[@williamdavis9562]

The fact people think Turkey's foreign policy will change when the government changes are unfortunately delving into wishful thinking at best and delusion at worst. Turkey's policy toward Europe has mostly been based on Europe's policy toward them. Which unfortunately has reached a breaking point and I'm not sure there is ever any going back.

[@muhammadhafizudinidris1592]

When the europe rules crush the turkiye people the most, the table will be turned,.. this already happened at Venezuela when the people solidly reject the opposing forces. So it is not a delusional thinking
