In light of a recent stabbing incident, Filiz Besim, a Member of Parliament from the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), harshly criticized Interior Minister Dursun Oğuz’s statements regarding “increasing measures.” Besim highlighted that what this country truly needs is a new approach to governance.
Lack of Common Policies
Referencing Minister Oğuz’s comments following the serious injury of a young woman at a Metropol Supermarket, Besim pointed out that the persistent problem of outdated public policies has come to the forefront. In a social media post, Besim emphasized the importance of the police’s dedicated efforts, indicating that the government is primarily responsible for the issues in the security sector. “The problem is your unwillingness to renew a system you’ve failed to establish for seven years and the measures you haven’t taken,” she stated.
Criticism and Suggestions
Besim also called attention to the government’s shortcomings in population management and border control, expressing that modern systems have not been implemented. She noted that there has been no census, no tracking of illegal immigrants, and no monitoring of individuals with visitor statuses, stating that this irresponsibility has heightened security concerns in society.
Highlighting deficiencies in combating drug trafficking, organized crime, and human trafficking, Besim reported that these issues remain unresolved under the UBP government. Additionally, she mentioned that the lack of social security for women working in nightclubs is also a serious problem.
Noting that some citizens are worried about their own security and the future of their children, Besim stressed that the government must develop concrete and effective policies instead of merely making promises. She asserted that topics like security, education, health, and economy cannot be treated independently, and these issues should be addressed through a holistic approach.
Finally, Besim stated that the promises made during election periods will not be sufficient to solve problems, encouraging citizens to make their decisions at the ballot box. She reiterated that a new management approach must prioritize law, planning, and public interest.
