I would like to share my latest article in the Journal of Psychosocial Studies on authoritarian populism as a political imagination rather than merely a strategy, with implications for democratic resistance through the case of Turkey: doi.org/10.1332/1478...

A survey conducted by KONDA reveals that 73 percent of the public believes protests are justified. Specifically, 21 per cent consider protests fully justified, while 52 per cent find them acceptable, provided they do not disrupt public order.
KONDA: Toplumun yüzde 73’ü protestoları haklı buluyor

"Araştırmaya göre halkın yüzde 21’i eylemleri haklı bulurken, yüzde 52’si düzeni bozmadıkça eylemlere hak veriyor."

The leader of the ultranationalist party, which is a leading partner of the incumbent government in Türkiye, accused protesters of being “fascist” supported by external agents. This proves how authoritarian populist imagination works through projections.

The people from across Turkey, including the cities known as pro-government and socially conservative, participated in the protest against the authoritarian crackdown. This development disenchants age-old sociological cliches predominantly put forward by conservative, nationalist politicians.
