Zamanın Adaleti program is live: Atty. Dr. Ruşen Gültekin: "The citizen's real agenda is not constitutional change, but bread and pension..."

12punto contributor Atty. Dr. Ruşen Gültekin answered questions from 12punto.com.tr Editor-in-Chief Mustafa Büyüksipahi on the program 'Zamanın Adaleti'. Gültekin clarified the question, "Who wants the constitutional change?"

The statements made by Atty. Dr. Ruşen Gültekin became a trending topic on social media.

'EVEN IF YOU PUT THE MAHDI AT THE HEAD OF THE COUNTRY...'

"The Presidential Government System is a monstrous structure. Was this structure presented to a public vote? Was the public aware that the regime was changing? Of course they weren't," said Gültekin, adding, "In 2017, the referendum articles for the constitutional change were discussed in parliament in the evening hours. The entire picture changed in a period of about 9 hours. The Turkish public's regime changed while they were asleep. Afterwards, it was presented to a public vote.

In the referendum, unstamped ballots were accepted as stamped. Besides, in a country, one person cannot manage everything. Even if they were the best leader in the world, it could be abused. One person should stay at the head of a country for a maximum of 8 years. Even if you put the Mahdi at the head of a country, their psychology would deteriorate after 8 years," he stated.

'THE GLOBAL MIND HAS CHANGED IN THE WORLD'

Emphasizing that Erdoğan holds absolute power, Gültekin said, "Erdoğan cannot turn a girl into a boy or a boy into a girl. Other than that, he can do anything. He makes whoever he wants a minister, he makes whoever he wants the President of Religious Affairs. With this authority, does the US President accept him? We must accept this now. The global mind in the world has changed."

Gültekin stated, "The fundamental reason for the constitutional change is to pave the way for the President to be a candidate again without the need for an early election, according to Articles 101 and 116 of the Constitution. For this reason, Erdoğan gave a tea appointment to CHP Chairman Özgür Özel."

'THE CITIZEN'S REAL AGENDA IS BREAD!'

Stating that "there is no problem in terms of the contract between the state and society in Turkey," Gültekin continued his words as follows:

"The public has now awakened. This awakening will one day lead us to a democratic society. The citizen's real agenda is not constitutional change, but bread and pension..."
