The resignation of the Minister of Finance and Finance, Berat Albayrak, also revealed how difficult journalism is in our country and the situation in which the press found itself. The social media account claimed to be owned by the minister claims he resigned. But you can’t find the opportunity to verify this with anyone. Apart from two televisions, websites and newspapers, the press does not see, hear or know of such a waiver. We only learn about the developments and behind the scenes from the foreign press. Oh that oh …
In this environment, the most gratifying news yesterday came from the 26th Ankara High Criminal Court. Our dear colleague Müyesser Yıldız has been detained for 155 days just because she was working as a journalist. We are in a process in which journalism is judged and the minister insults journalists.
THAT’S SO HARD
Berat Albayrak announced her resignation from social media, but you will also investigate if this is true. Those who need to speak cannot speak or comment. In this case, you will write with the information you have or not. Nobody tells you anything because today it is not written. When you write, you can get in trouble.
I learned that the former commander of the Ground Forces, retired General Aytaç Yalman, passed away from Covid-19. I knew we would get in trouble if we wrote a story like that. I explained it on the Sisler Bulvarı program on KRT TV. In fact, they first said, “He is not the cause of death,” and a day later they had to explain the truth. If we hadn’t announced it, no one would have known the true cause of Aytaç Pasha’s death.
THE REASON FOR THE RESIGNATION
This form of resignation of Berat Albayrak is something that does not exist in our state tradition. At first, we had a hard time figuring out if it was true or if there were other intentions. The fact that the statement was not denied by Albayrak or the ministry showed that the resignation would be correct.
After the resignation there is talk and will talk about many things. The incident is said to have both a political and an economic dimension. It was known that there was a difference of opinion between the president and the Minister of Finance and Finance, Berat Albayrak, on how to stop the rise of the dollar. While Erdogan opposed the rate hike, Albayrak argued that the central bank would raise the dollar’s overnight interest rate by 3 percent so that the dollar would drop to 6.50. Meetings related to the economy held in the palace without informing Albayrak also increased the problem.
There was another problem. Albayrak was inviting the AKP deputies to the meeting in groups. 170 of the 290 deputies followed the minister’s call. Çanakkale MP Bülent Turan, known for his closeness to the president’s son, Bilal Erdoğan, was said to have opposed these calls. When the unrest grew, AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was briefed on the situation during the Malatya congress. Mahir Ünal, who is known to be in the middle, also expressed these annoyances.
“PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT”
Frankly, none of the AKP officials were able to make a statement after the resignation. A situation similar to the resignation of Süleyman Soylu from the Interior Ministry was assessed as not being accepted by the president.
While politicians did not speak or comment on the resignation, Alaattin Çakıcı, who was detained in prison for being the leader of an organized crime organization and released in April after benefiting from the Execution Law, came to the following statement: When it comes to the subject, self-conflicts within the government are frozen in the depths of freedom. The economic connections that have been maintained due to the international economic relations of the Ministry of Finance, which is the economic guarantee of our state and our nation, will not be broken. But ongoing relationships, while the world goes through a tumultuous economic process, the captain in charge of finances does not leave ship. If the captain at the head of the state told the second captain ‘rest a while’ it is normal. If firing is in the state’s interest, good luck. If the position has changed due to pressure from the opposition, the head of our state has shown the opposition that the Republican Alliance has wanted to wear it down for years: I cut off my arm if it is necessary for the survival of the state, and if the economy improves with This resignation for the state and our nation will be a cause of good. I present the public with respect. “
“UNDER PRESSURE”
The president of the Association of Journalists Nazmi Bilgin said: “After the Minister of Finance and Finance Berat Albayrak announced on his social media accounts that he was resigning from his post, the fact that the reporters did not confirm this fact, the fact that that both the television channels and the newspapers ‘I have not seen, heard, I do not know’ playing three monkeys shows the situation that journalism has been under pressure. ” said.
What remains to be added to this statement from Bilgin?
