An experienced right-wing politician and former interior minister Ms. Meral AKSENER established her long expected political party with the title of “GOOD PARTY” on October 25th, 2017. Aksener presented a petition to the Ministry of Interior for the establishment of “Good Party” the day before the first meeting with the founders and sympathizers of the new party.
In her first message on behalf of her party, AKSENER said “Turkey is good. Turkey and its people are tired, the state has suffered corrosion, the public order has been resolved, there is no other way except for changing the whole political climate“.
AKSENER, delivered following messages in her speech:
“The 2002 elections were a search of our nation to get rid of social problems such as corruption, prohibitions and poverty. These expectations led AK Party to power. This party is considered to be successful in its initial years in power. However, starting 2007, it has turned into a “a power without vision”. Turkey has become an open area for operations. With the April 16 referendum, the 1946 elections were almost staged again. A transition “from the sovereignty of the nation” to “the judge’s will” has been realized.
Democracy is under threat. Turkey is tired, people are tired. No healthy road has remained except for the change of political climate. Now is the time to say new things. Turkey has also the power to overcome its big problems. We want a rich Turkey where justice prevails. We want a free society. We want a happy Turkey. We are launching Turkey’s embrace with a new, good political movement. Good is justice. Good is determination. Good is hope. Good is future. Good is knowledge. Good is wealth. Good is courage. Good means civilization and only the brave lay the stones of this road. In the light of “the sun of goodness”, we will embrace 80 million.
