How can majority of Turks see Erdogan as the worst president and yet they voted for him just about two years ago? If anything, Turkiye's economy has improved since then. Inflation has been falling for 9 straight months.
You can be elected, govern badly and lose popularity. You can be unlucky with factors beyond your control creating problems (2008 WFC, covid pandemic, natural disaster hits your country). Those things cost popularity.

Inflation in Turkey? IIRC Erdogan wanted low interest rates. Inflation spiralled. Eventually someone competent was appointed to manage inflation. Since then inflation has fallen. No credit is due to Erdogan for reducing inflation.

Why is it so that there are always people from Islamic countries who want’s Turkiye to become Islamic like their own countries ? Why do they want the Turks to help and lead the Islamic world when we Turks have already a lot of problems in our own country, especially when we have a wannabee dictator as a president ?

Who put that guy incharge of the Central Bank?
Inflation in Turkiye is due to Western economic attacks. It's very straightforward to figure out. Contrast Erdogan's performance a decade or so ago and his performance today. He literally built todays mordern prosperous Turkiye. Opponets will always look for excuses to demonize him by whatever means necessary.
Besides, interest rate hikes are just a temporary remedy.
The West is attacking Turkiye's economy to help the opposition. Millions of Turks are aware of this. That why they continue to support him.
One of you pals here said his popularity is sagging. I don't believe in political polls anymore. They got things wrong so many times. From Hillary Clinton to Doland Trum, Joe Biden, Kamala Haris, and even Erdogan, the polls have been wrong too many times.
Turkiye will still go back to low interest rates as long as the AKP is in power. That'll happen when Erdogan achieves a certain degree of success re-orienting the Turkish economy towards Asia and Africa. Turkiye's economy is still standing because of Erdogan's resilience, otherwise the West would have destroyed it to pave way for the opposition to take over.

So that Türkiye comes down to their worthless countries level.

His country is not islamic,



Nigerian politics takes place within a framework of a federal and presidential republic and a representative democracy, in which the president holds executive power. Legislative power is held by the federal government and the two chambers of the legislature: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

I would really like to hear your explanation on how the West insurgency exactly increased inflation in Turkey, if you don’t mind.

While even the strongest Turkish AKP defenders have fled the scene we must now also deal with foreign Erdoganists. Clearly ADMusa has all the answers /s.

French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen convicted of corruption, barred from seeking office for 5 years​

French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen on Monday was barred from seeking political office for five years after being convicted in a corruption case.

A Paris court sentenced the French far-right leader, 56, who was the front-runner in the 2027 presidential election, to four years in prison -- half of it suspended, while two years could be served under surveillance wearing an ankle bracelet. She was also fined €100,000 (around $108,000).

Le Pen’s National Rally party was also ordered to pay a fine of €2 million.

Her lawyer, Rodolphe Bosselut, said they would appeal. "This is totally, absolutely incredible. There is a form of criminalization of the right to defense, which I personally find extremely scandalous,” he added.

Le Pen and other party members were found guilty of diverting more than 4 million euros ($4.33 million) of European Parliament funds. They were accused of using EU funds to the benefit of their party.




Did someone really say that Türkiye is governed by a dictatorship and that it has become a paradise of democracy in Europe?

"Liberal hypocrisy"

Hmmmm I really like this concept.

Liberals are always subservient to the West. They will justify everything the West does, and they will criticize the same thing in their own countries.
