CHP Meetings and Social Reactions: Analysis by İbrahim Kiras

CHP meetings and rallies have become significant indicators of social reactions in Turkey. Following the judicial operation against İmamoğlu, protests in Istanbul's Saraçhane Square and other cities have caught the government's attention.
The reactions of young people to the music played at the rallies show that the CHP appeals not only to its own base but to a broader audience. This indicates a misjudgment by the government.
The government's view of these protests as merely actions of CHP supporters reveals a significant error in understanding social dynamics. The participation of youth from various political backgrounds in these protests indicates a desire for change in society.
As İbrahim Kiras points out, this dissenting crowd is not just made up of CHP supporters who have no hope of gaining AK Party votes. Rather, it includes youth representing a broad right-wing constituency.
In conclusion, CHP meetings and protests demonstrate a shift in Turkey's political climate and a more active engagement of society in politics. This situation presents important data that the government should pay attention to.
