The AKP can’t reasonably claim moral superiority when it comes to sexual assault of women and abuse of the vulnerable more generally.
But the CHP has to be whiter than white on this.
Right now it clearly isn’t. The #MeToo movement should replenish the opposition.
Seriously.

It’s natural we hear more details of abuse from the opposition because the opposition should necessarily pull in people who don’t accept abuse.
Our problem is a society that allows powerful men to think that power allows them to exert abuse of authority on those around them.

The opposition may well be attacked by an unfair media and judicial system but at the same time, an abuser is an abuser and the evidence is always there in the person who finally shouts out about their abuse.
If the opposition can’t be clear about this, it’s screwed.

The CHP should assign an independent (non-party) group of lawyers and really assess what appears to be systematic abuse.
That’s the only way to deal with this politically.
It’s also a good way to recognise this is a Turkey problem and not an AKP one. We treat women like shit.
