Liberal Party

A GLOBAL AND LOCAL VISION FOR A LIBERAL FUTURE World politics is at a historic turning point: authoritarian populism, which has dominated the past two decades, has reached a dead end, and liberal-democratic values—rooted in individual freedoms, the free market, and the rule of law—are on the rise once again. The collapse of Viktor Orbán’s “illiberal” regime in Hungary and the electoral setbacks suffered by populism in Brazil and the United States clearly demonstrate that the illusion of the authoritarian “strongman” has come to an end. Our party views this global democratic transformation as a historic opportunity for Turkey’s institutional, economic, and social resurgence. 1. An Open Society and a Rules-Based World in the Face of Global Isolation: Authoritarian regimes have become models of isolation that cripple the economy and undermine social peace. While closed dictatorships such as Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran are being isolated from the global system, the personal regimes in Central Asia and the Arab world have lost their capacity to shape humanity’s shared future. The fundamental principles of our liberal vision on a global scale are as follows: -An Institutional System Against Personalistic Regimes: The state must be governed not according to the whims of a single individual, but according to the principles of the constitution, accountability, and transparency. - A Values-Based Foreign Policy: A return to universal values in the Western world requires Turkey’s reintegration into global networks of trade, technology, and law. 2. From Strong Men to Strong Institutions: Turkey’s Liberal Restoration: The greatest wreckage left behind by populist regimes is an economy rife with crises—institutions that have lost their meritocracy, a judiciary that has lost its independence, and the erosion of property rights. As the Liberal Party, our pledge is to downsize the state and empower the individual and their freedoms. -An Independent Judiciary and Property Rights: Without legal certainty, neither domestic nor foreign investors can be assured of security. Judicial independence is the guarantee of liberal economic growth and individual freedom. -Free Market and Economic Freedom: Instead of protectionist, cronyist, and state-controlled economic policies, we will build a market system that is open to competition, upholds equal opportunity, and encourages entrepreneurship. 3. Turkey’s Inspiring Role in the Islamic World: Turkey possesses the only secular and democratic experience in the Middle East and the Islamic world that can serve as an alternative to authoritarianism and dogmatism. However, this experience can only achieve global influence when crowned with liberal democratic values. Turkey, transitioning from personality-based populist regimes to a liberal model grounded in the rule of law, individual rights, and institutional meritocracy: -Will become a leading model in the Islamic world, synonymous with “freedom, prosperity, and justice.” -Will be the strongest guarantor of regional peace, free trade, and democratization. The Key to the Future: Free People, a Respectful State The politics of the “strongman” have brought Turkey nothing but poverty, polarization, and institutional decay. What we need is to abandon the mindset that places the state above the people and, instead of concentrating power in a single hand, distribute it according to the rule of law and universal values. The Liberal Party is ready to lead Turkey—and, through it, our entire region—toward a bright future where freedom, prosperity, and justice prevail. Zübeyir Gülabi Chairman, Liberal Party of Türkiye November 6, 2026

TOURISM 🏖️➡️🏛️ We do not view Turkey’s tourism potential as consisting merely of sea, sand, and sun! We evaluate our cultural and faith heritage spanning from Şanlıurfa to Hatay, and from the House of the Virgin Mary to Hagia Sophia, alongside our thermal resources, highlands, and qualified healthcare infrastructure within a single economic development model. By integrating tourism into our economic policy, we aim for a structure that: • 👷‍♂️ Increases local employment, • 🚀 Supports entrepreneurship, • 🗓️ Generates revenue across all four seasons, • 📈 Builds strong local economies. 🌿 A tourism model that protects our culture and expands prosperity. #LiberalParty #Tourism #TourismPolicy #TurkeyTourism #CulturalTourism #FaithTourism #HealthTourism #NatureTourism #LocalDevelopment #LocalEmployment #Entrepreneurship #FourSeasonTourism #EconomicDevelopment

The state cannot decide what people will read or watch. Access bans and censorship decisions do not only usurp the public's right to information; they also undermine the country's reputation. We oppose all access bans without any ifs or buts. The internet is free and will remain free!... #SansüreHayır #ErişimEngelineSon @evrenselgzt @AlexCrawfordSky @aforgutu @AmnestyTR @oakarsucelik @BarisAkademik @busucaortakolma @Alikev_org @iremafsin @barbarosaltug @tfnkymz @HAKinsiyatifi @HAK_inisiyatifi @kivilcimgen @pskkivilcimgen @firatfistik @firatfistk @mlsaturkey @ozukanbelit @alp_bugdayci @alp_bugdayci1 @adaletsosyalizm @petrocelli1871 @snyzbgl @umutsendikasi_ @kadirDII @benimbenkardi @lawyer_of_moon @emrahthepolitic @gumustasozlem @espresmi1

In such NGO operations, the rule of law and the right to property must be taken as a basis. ​The perception that public authority uses its oversight powers to suppress civil society or render property rights questionable undermines the principle of the rule of law.

September 12 is not merely a coup; it is a dark turning point where human dignity, justice, and conscience were trampled underfoot. Those who yesterday turned a blind eye to the severe torture in prisons and the brutal use of state power—and who "sanctified" that power—planted the seeds of the injustices we live through today. As long as we fail to engage in a genuine, human confrontation with the MINDSET THAT WORSHIPS POWER and the PAST'S CULTURE OF IMPUNITY, we will continue to be tested by different faces of the same darkness. We have not forgotten, we do not acquit; justice and human dignity are superior to any power. #September12 #HumanDignity #Justice

FOREIGN POLICY 🌍🗽 Türkiye's foreign policy should be conducted not through daily outbursts, but through consistent principles and trustworthy relationships. As the Liberal Party, we advocate for: • ⚖️ Adherence to international law, • 🕊️ Peaceful diplomacy prioritizing our national interests, • 🤝 Mutual respect and dialogue, • 📈 A Türkiye strengthened by a productive economy. 🌟 Strong economy, effective diplomacy, and a prestigious Türkiye. #LiberalParty #ForeignPolicy #Diplomacy #InternationalRelations #StrongTürkiye #EconomicGrowth #PrestigiousTürkiye @liberalinternat @TheDemVoiceNow @LibDems @GreenLibDems @EurLiberalForum @sfliberty @LiberalNSW @LiberalAus @plnacional_ @PartidoLiberal @LiberalPT @TheDemocrats @ChrisRathMLC @LibTearCreator1 @CampbellNewman @NotAvgLiberal @Liberal_India1 @PopularLiberal

1️⃣1️⃣ WE WILL MAKE POLITICS A SERVICE PORTAL ACCOUNTABLE TO THE NATION 🏛️ 👤 We will base public appointments on merit. 🔗 We will make all state expenditures 100% transparent through a blockchain-based live tracking system. ⚖️ By narrowing the scope of political immunity, we will make politics an accountable, transparent office where every penny is accounted for and the nation is served honestly, rather than a tool for enrichment. @dailyliberal @IFLRY @YoungLibs @YoungLiberalsUK @LibDemPeers @LiberalResist @LiberalPartyNS @liberal_party @ALDEParty @NDP @Venstre @LibertariansNSW @LNPQLD @JustinTrudeau @ElizabethMay @PaulineHansonOz @JohnRuddick2 @evmulholland @SenPaterson

Opening an investigation against Ahmet Davutoğlu on charges of insulting the President is completely incompatible with the principles of the rule of law and freedom of expression. ​In democracies, there can be no special protection laws for specific individuals; neither regulations protecting the President nor Law No. 5816 on Crimes Committed Against Atatürk align with this understanding. The ideas and legacy of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk are strong enough not to require the protection of laws or penalties. The real way to protect him is to keep alive the republican values, liberties, and justice he entrusted to us. ​When we come to power, we will repeal such laws that render individuals or offices immune; we will establish a fully democratic legal order where everyone is equal before the law and no one is prosecuted for their thoughts.

🔟 WE WILL OPEN OUR PRODUCING BUSINESS PEOPLE TO THE WORLD. 💼 ​✈️ We will place three aircraft from the presidential fleet at the service of trade delegations for export and investment purposes. ​🌐 We will connect our producing business people with new markets, boosting Turkey's exports and global competitiveness. @ProjectLiberal @RenewEurope @CNLiberalism @LiberalCurrents @TheProgressives @TheDemVoiceNow @ALDC @liberalerna @LiberalAlliance @LiberalQuebec @OntLiberal @parti_liberal @planet_liberal @Laurinha_2050_ @liberalcaveman1 @LiberalMut @Rob_ThaBuilder @BleedingMarine @LP_CLC

9️⃣ SCIENCE WILL BE FREE, TÜRKİYE WILL BE STRONG. 🇹🇷 🎓 We will build a Türkiye where scientists can conduct research freely and universities are autonomous. 📈 By increasing investments in science and R&D, we will elevate Türkiye to become one of the technology-exporting countries. 🔬 By reversing the brain drain, we will bring together the world's most successful scientists in Türkiye. @liberalinternat @TheDemVoiceNow @LibDems @GreenLibDems @EurLiberalForum @sfliberty @LiberalNSW @LiberalAus @plnacional_ @PartidoLiberal @LiberalPT @TheDemocrats @ChrisRathMLC @LibTearCreator1 @CampbellNewman @NotAvgLiberal @Liberal_India1 @PopularLiberal

"Filenin Sultanları" are as we know them: CHAMPIONS! ​We cannot be proud enough of this magnificent team that poured their heart out until the very last point! ​Thanks to you, goosebumps again, tears in our eyes again! 🇹🇷👑🏆

The sorrow of September 6-7, 1955, is still within us... We have not forgotten the injustice suffered and the pain experienced by our non-Muslim neighbors who added color to these lands. On the anniversary of this painful day that wounded the concept of neighborly relations and our common memory, we respectfully commemorate all those we lost.

THE RULE OF LAW CANNOT BE MADE AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL BALANCES OR ELECTORAL CALCULATIONS. The persistent failure of the Yeni Parti to apply to the Constitutional Court (AYM) to eliminate the inequalities in the Framework Law and to ensure the inclusion of political offenses - and the failure of OTHER OPPOSITION PARTIES to pressure the Yeni Parti (@yenipartiyiz) to take this step, remaining mere spectators to this passivity and silence - is a heavy moral responsibility that legitimizes injustice. IN THE FACE OF ILLEGALITY, NOT GOING TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT IS NOT A CHOICE; IT IS ABANDONING THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE. Unless an unconditional and unqualified legal order is established, these lands will not achieve the peace they deserve. No one has the right to darken our future with our own hands, or to leave an uncertain and unjust future to the children of this country. Do not commit this harm against this country and its children; this country belongs to all of us.

8️⃣ WE WILL NOT DELAY JUSTICE. ⚖️ ⏳ Justice delayed is justice denied. 👤 No one will wait years for their rights. 🏛️ By digitalizing judicial processes, providing dedicated independent and impartial law enforcement support to prosecutors, and strengthening alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, 📅 We will conclude legal and commercial cases within a maximum of 180 days, and criminal cases within a maximum of 365 days. @dailyliberal @IFLRY @YoungLibs @YoungLiberalsUK @LibDemPeers @LiberalResist @LiberalPartyNS @liberal_party @ALDEParty @NDP @Venstre @LibertariansNSW @LNPQLD @JustinTrudeau @ElizabethMay @PaulineHansonOz @JohnRuddick2 @evmulholland @SenPaterson

In principle, we are not opposed to privatization; however, we would like to remind everyone that the past actions of the current government serve as a guarantee of its future steps. The processes previously conducted behind closed doors, rent-oriented tenders, and the heavy costs imposed on the nation are the primary reasons for our concern. To whom, for how much, and under what conditions the two Bosphorus bridges and eight highways will be handed over must be disclosed to the public with total transparency. Otherwise, this step will not be privatization, but an unlawful transfer of public resources to specific interest groups.

7️⃣ AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY WILL BE REVIVED. 🐄 🌳 We will protect agricultural lands, pastures, and highlands. 🚜 The producer will win. We will support our farmers and livestock breeders, lower production costs, and provide tax-free diesel. 🐮 By ensuring food security, we will make Türkiye a self-sufficient country once again. @ProjectLiberal @RenewEurope @CNLiberalism @LiberalCurrents @TheProgressives @TheDemVoiceNow @ALDC @liberalerna @LiberalAlliance @LiberalQuebec @OntLiberal @parti_liberal @planet_liberal @Laurinha_2050_ @liberalcaveman1 @LiberalMut @Rob_ThaBuilder @BleedingMarine @LPCLCBIREUEN

6️⃣ WE WILL BE THE ASSURANCE FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS 🤝 🏠 We will leave no one to their fate. 💵 We will provide a dignified life through income security, education, housing, and healthcare support. 💍 We will offer counseling services during divorce and remarriage processes. @liberalinternat @TheDemVoiceNow @LibDems @GreenLibDems @EurLiberalForum @sfliberty @LiberalNSW @LiberalAus @plnacional_ @PartidoLiberal @LiberalPT @TheDemocrats @ChrisRathMLC @LibTearCreator1 @CampbellNewman @NotAvgLiberal @Liberal_India1 @PopularLiberal

5️⃣ PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES WILL NOT BE LEFT WAITING FOR HELP ♿ 🌱 We will ensure the full participation of individuals with disabilities in education, transportation, and social life. 🤝 We will ease the lives of caregivers for persons with disabilities through training, economic, and social support programs. @dailyliberal @IFLRY @YoungLibs @YoungLiberalsUK @LibDemPeers @LiberalResist @LiberalPartyNS @liberal_party @ALDEParty @NDP @Venstre @LibertariansNSW @LNPQLD @JustinTrudeau @ElizabethMay @PaulineHansonOz @JohnRuddick2 @evmulholland @SenPaterson
