In his column today, Sözcü newspaper writer Deniz Zeyrek wrote about the resignation of Finance and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak and why the media were unable to report this.
Zeyrek said: “Albayrak’s advisers did not deliver this information to AA, even when they labeled them ‘opposition’ in normal times and conveyed ‘right to resign’ to journalists they were not even addressed to? Of course they did. However, Anadolu Agency executives did not pass the news without receiving confirmation from the Presidency. The Presidential Communications Presidency, with whom the agency’s management was in contact, informed AA administration, “wait for news from us.”
Deniz Zeyrek noted the following in his article:
I learned that President Tayyip Erdogan himself opposed the Anadolu Agency reports.
When I first heard this information, I thought that President Erdogan was opposed to reporting on the issue because of the “possibility of refusing to resign.”
However, upon further investigation, I realized that Erdogan’s main concern was something else.
As you will recall, the Minister of the Interior, Süleyman Soylu, also announced his resignation on social networks, when the issue was reflected in the media, first on social networks, then from the rank and file of the AK Party and the MHP, including the leader of the MHP, Devlet Bahçeli, to the president. The call had come. Erdogan also rejected Soylu’s resignation.
If Albayrak’s similar step had been widely reflected in the media, the AK Party and the MHP base would have followed the campaign to “reject the resignation.”
The president should have foreseen this situation, he did not want the news to be made, thinking that “this method should not become a highway.”
