ÇETİN AY, "STOP, LISTEN... DON'T SPEAK...!"

The problem in this country isn't just the government.

The problem is the establishment of a system where everyone talks, but no one really listens.

Citizens speak. But their voices go unheard.

They react. But decisions have already been made.

Politics considers the outcome, not the objection. What the citizen has to endure is calculated, not what they say.

Therefore, there's no longer any ground for the voice to touch the system.

As the speed of political decision-making increases, contact with the people weakens proportionally.

This disconnect isn't limited to society.

There's a similar silence within the state.

Bureaucrats, civil servants, and the cadres that keep institutions running are aware of what's happening.

They see what's going on in the field.

They feel the social pressure.

But they don't speak.

Because in this system, speaking the truth is perceived as a risk, not a responsibility.

Being visible means falling behind, not progressing.

That's why many prefer to withdraw.

They can't stand by the people.

They can't even approach the decision-making processes.

They remain within the system, but their ties to the system weaken.

Politics progresses on this ground.

The government makes decisions and implements them.

The opposition produces predetermined objections to these decisions.

The sides don't change.

Positions are fixed.

There is no listening.

There is no contact.

The media is not outside this structure either.

The pro-government press doesn't defend what is done, it normalizes it.

The opposition press doesn't question, it repeats.

The questions aren't challenging.

The headlines are familiar.

The reader isn't surprised.

Therefore, politics is no longer a field of debate.

It's a closed environment where decisions are implemented and objections are managed.

Everyone knows their role.

Everyone knows their limits.

Nobody aims to change the outcome.

The resulting picture is not a political struggle.

It's a representation vacuum.

Citizens feel excluded.

The cadres within the state become silent.

Politics is turning inward.

The media is watching this inward turn.

Everyone thinks they are right.

Everyone is blaming someone else.

But no one is openly talking about who this system is silencing.

The issue we are witnessing today cannot be explained solely by economics, politics, or media language.

The emerging picture points to a deeper rupture.

Citizens are speaking, but they are not receiving a response.

Those within the state apparatus are seeing, but they cannot convey it.

Politics is making decisions, but not listening.

The media is reporting, but not asking questions.

This is not a moment of crisis.

It is a process.
