The mistakes in the purge after the military coup d'état to Turkey

Mexico. -   With the backdrop of a great demonstration in support to the democracy and in repudiation to the military coup d'état of mid of the month of July, yesterday (07/08/16) the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, returned to urge to the legislative in fact that approve again the introduction of the death penalty in the country, abolished makes 12 years in the country. Such called is one of the factors that note to the operation undertaken by the chief in been about to put large social energies that defeated the attempt to fight to the service of the authoritarianism and of his personal project of certifying a personal power of certifying an all-embracing personal power and stressed of against democracy. With independence of the falsehood or the certainty of devise in the sense on fact that it was own Erdogan who plotted unsuccessful military uprising, what is certain is that this, yes as heroic social response that stopped it  and disarticulated it, they have given to the president a unusual action margin to remodel to their pleasure constitutionality of Turkey, to isolate politically the oppositions - particularly, the legal political expressions of the Kurdish people - and to advance in the setting-up of something similar to a dictatorship. To base such assert is relevant to recall that after the military coup d'état revolt the Executive undertook a purge that was not limited to the army forces: in addition to the officers and captured soldiers and submitted to judgment, more than 60 thousand civil officials have been bidden farewell by their supposed support to the blow, 20 thousand teachers have lost their license and there is about 25 thousand detainees. More than a million of persons have been expressed yesterday (08/07/16) to condemn the bankrupt coup d'état of July 15th, to the Turkish State, that it has been criticized internationally of be a dictatorship with purges and detentions generalized in the country. "If the people wants the death penalty (against the opposition), the parties will observe their will", reiterated Erdogan during the mobilization by the "democracy and the martyrs". The demonstration accomplished in the district of Yenikapi, in the extreme south of the peninsula of Istanbul, brand the most algid point of the three nocturnal mobilization weeks of the followers of Erdogan, many of them covered with the Turkish flag, in squares of all the country. Between the multitude would be seen placards in which were read: "Are a God gift, Erdogan", or well "You order us to die and we will make it". Erdogan advanced that will approve the application of the capital penalty. This death penalty was abolished in 2004 in the context of the candidacy of Turkey to enter to the European Union. Erdogan it has promised to release to their country of the net of their ancient ally, the clergyman Fethullah Gulen, who resides in The States and to whose followers in the safety forces, the judicial power and the public administration accuses of to organize  the coup d’état it attempt suddenly. The clergyman has denied the accusations, from the try, the Turkish authorities have detained and put under investigation to thousands of persons, between them weld, policemen, judges, journalists, medical and public officials. Requests the NATO and EU to Turkey to observe state to right Many of them have been violation victims to the human rights, according to expresses International Amnesty recently. On the other hand the government has closed 45 newspapers, 29 editorial, 23 radio stations, 16 television chains, 15 magazines and a press agency, according to the own official reports. Journalist tens to those which the regime qualifies as "favorable" to the preaching Fethullah Gülen (FG), indicated by Ankara as inspire intellectual of the blow, face apprehension orders. Additionally, Erdogan it has requested to modify the Constitution in order to putting under their command direct to the State greater than the military forces and the secret service. In this context results questionable what is dangerous from the reiterated suggestions of the governing to return to establish the death penalty, not only because, this constitutes an aberrant violation to the human rights, but also because that punishment eradicated in Turkey in 2014 and in disuse from 1984, would be applied to opposes and dissenting.  The calls of Erdogan have generated warnings on the part of the governments of the European Union (EU) in fact that a reestablishment of the capital penalty will be translated in an immediate break of the negotiations guided to return to capture to the Turkish State in the community space. Unfortunately, such warnings should deal with skepticism, since the relationships of Brussels with Turkey are modulates for an extreme pragmatism. In order to accounts, Ankara lends invaluable services to the EU as migrant reserve and as lance top against Iran. In short, the dictatorial zeal of Erdogan do not seem to face meaningful obstacles, neither in what is internal nor abroad. Turkish leaders, between them the Vice prime minister, Numan Kurtulmus (NK), recognized for the first time this Monday (08/01/16), it could have "mistakes” in the massive purge accomplished after of the bankrupt coup d'état in July 15th, measure that it has been widely criticized by the international community. "If there were mistakes, we will amend them", said NK, in a press conference in the one which added that "the citizens that they do not may have filiation with them", in allusion to the fans of the  iman FG, who blame to Ankara of organizing the supposed coup d'état, also added NK: "should be afraid and pay the price". The prime minister Binali Yildirim (BY), coincided that exists the possibility in fact that between the thousands of victims of this harridans hunt also they might have been abuses assignment of the State. "It is being applying a rigorous work on those which have been dismissed", indicated BY. "Some were unjust process victims", admitted. From the blow invented by the State, some 10 thousand persons stay detained provisionally, and they hold to investigation, and more than 50 thousand have been dismissed. Of agreement to the newspaper Cumhuriyet it inform that from the supposed coup d'état has been stopped to 23 journalists, after six new arrest orders issued this Monday.  From the supposed it attempt coup d'état On Friday past a court admitted to procedure 17 preventive prison requests. According to information of the expert in Turkey of Reporters Without Frontiers, Erol Onderoglu, most of the journalists work for means that sympathize with the movement of Gulen. Between the detained journalists is found Nazli Ilicak, known critical of the government that during an examination, denied to have relationships to followers of Gulen, according to report of the news agency DHA. The journalist was bidden farewell around the end of 2013 of the newspaper Sabah, nearby to the government, by demanding the resignation of several ministers of the governing party AKP, after accomplishing an investigation by corruption. The government considered the investigation a conspiracy organized by Gulen. In so much the foreign ministry of Turkey summoned to conferences to the Germany ambassador in Ankara, in response to the judicial decision that prevented to the Turkish president, Erdogan, be directed by video-conference to the about 40 thousand assistant a demonstration to celebrate the failure of the coup d'état, on Sunday in the German Colony city where base part of 3 million of Turks that reside in the European Union.  On the other hand The States, the European Union and the Organization of the Atlantic North (NATO) exhorted this Monday to Turkey to observe the state to right and the democracy, as well as to avoid to fall in a generalized repression, after the bankrupt coup d'état against the government of the conservative party of Erdogan. In the harridans hunt has assigned as "terrorist", and in the search of riotous there is a huge quantity, in spite the warnings of the international community, concerned about the magnitude of the arrests. The representative of the foreign policy EU, Federica Mogherini and John Kerry of The States, requested to Ankara to observe the State to right. The platform WikiLeaks will publish more than 10 thousand documents on the structure of power in Turkey. (La Jornada, politica, p. 18, June 15, 2016).
