Turkey's political, economic, and social problems are increasing anxiety and hopelessness about the future in society. However, the establishment of a new political party has brought the public's expectation for change and hope back onto the agenda.

The Management of Fikir Atölyesi e.V. stated that expectations for Turkey's future should not be limited to political rhetoric alone. It expressed that the new political formation should publish a comprehensive and concrete manifesto that will inspire public trust.

Expectation of Change and Trust from the New Political Formation

It is of great importance that every new formation entering politics in Turkey correctly interprets society's expectations for change. It was emphasized that the new party should not merely be a new actor in the political arena; but should represent a new political understanding that responds to the quest for justice, democracy, freedom, prosperity, the rule of law, and social trust.

Fikir Atölyesi stated that creating hope alone is not enough. It noted that political rhetoric must transform into concrete policies, declarations of good intentions into resolute steps, and political goals into implementable programs.

Call for a Manifesto from Fikir Atölyesi

Fikir Atölyesi e.V. aims to bring thoughts on Turkey's future, society's fundamental expectations, and the concrete steps expected from the new political formation to the public agenda.

In this context, it was stated that the new party should publish a comprehensive political manifesto containing clear, understandable, and implementable solution proposals for the fundamental problems Turkey is facing.

The statement noted that their aim is not to provide unconditional support to any political party. It was recorded that they want to contribute to serious and sincere efforts for Turkey to become a democratic, modern, free, just, productive, and rule-of-law-abiding country.

Inclusive Politics and Expectation of Concrete Solutions

It was emphasized that the new political formation must correctly analyze the problems that society has been expressing for years. It was stated that it needs to develop an inclusive political understanding that brings together different segments of society and take bold steps to meet expectations.

It was stated that Turkey's need is not for new political slogans, but rather a strong and realistic vision for the future that inspires public trust.

According to Fikir Atölyesi, for Turkey's future;

  • unity instead of polarization,
  • embrace instead of division,
  • democracy based on strong institutions instead of politics dependent on individuals,
  • competence and meritocracy instead of loyalty,
  • production and fair distribution instead of waste and rent-seeking,
  • and the strengthening of the understanding of freedom and hope instead of fear and hopelessness are needed.

“Facing a Historic Responsibility”

The Management of Fikir Atölyesi e.V. believes that the new political formation faces a significant and historic responsibility.

It was pointed out that this responsibility is not limited to the goal of gaining power alone. It was stated that the main goal is to present a new political understanding that will inspire confidence in Turkey's future, is based on democratic values, and encompasses all segments of society.

The manifesto requested to be prepared aims to identify Turkey's priority problems. Additionally, it aims to outline the fundamental steps that need to be taken for solutions and to initiate a healthy discussion about the future in the public sphere.

For Turkey to regain hope, it was emphasized that political actors must act with an understanding that not only criticizes but also produces solutions. It was stated that an approach should be adopted that not only makes promises but also presents implementable policies; and that inspires trust not just in certain segments, but in the entire society.
