We rather soft-spoken leader that promises opposite of what we’ve been through for 21 years now than full blown dictatorship. It would be amazing to see him WIN.
Turkish Gandhi FTW!
“He has survived a string of violent attacks, earning the reputation of being one of Turkey’s most-targeted politicians.”
Maybe I’m just sceptical, but I doubt he’s seen the last of those attacks.
Such a soft spoken person. I wonder what he thinks about the sovereignty of Greece .
24 days before election!
I’m not too optimistic about this TBH. I think that either the votes will be rigged and Erdogan will “win”, or Erdogan loses and he simply cancels the election results. Sort of like it happened in Belorussia.
What happens after the elections is what matters. Are the people ready to fight to protect their votes?
And since it’s usually not the people that cause dictatorships to fall, the question is whether Kemal has powerful supporters that can influence the police or the army and prevent a crackdown.
>Turkey’s ‘soft-spoken’ Kemal Kilicdaroglu takes on powerful Erdogan
He might seem like a weak choice against Erdogan, but he was the only candidate who could get the votes of 6 million leftist Kurds while keeping the support of CHP voters at the same time. He really worked hard to unite a wide array of different political groups. A hardliner couldn’t unite all these groups.
