CHP members made the following assessment: "The Turkish economy is getting worse every day. Under heavy economic conditions, the bond between the public and the government is weakening significantly. Resources distributed during election periods are now seen by the public as 'election bribes.' No matter what is done, the rupture between the public and the government has deepened further, and the AKP will pay the price for this in the first election."
