President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has hailed Italy’s decision to ban the formation of coalition governments in the name of providing stability, amid predictions that Turkey’s upcoming parliamentary elections might force a coalition government, ending more than a decade of single-party rule by the Justice and Development Party (AKP).
“Italy recently passed a law banning coalitions. While the entire world is seeking ways to boost stability, they [opposition parties] are promising a coalition government. The entire world is adopting the presidential system for stability, while they are still talking about the parliamentary system,” Erdoğan said in his May 7 address during an inauguration ceremony for projects carried out by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) in Ankara.
A recently adopted law in Italy stipulates forming a single-party government through a two-round parliamentary election, so that the winner will have a parliamentary majority, thereby eliminating the complicated coalition governments that have left the country’s politics deeply unstable for decades.
Turkey’s pro-government media and columnists covered Italy’s new law, while Erdoğan became the first high-level official speaking on the subject amid growing arguments the upcoming polls would result in a coalition government, which would mean the end of the AKP’s 13-year self-rule in government. Erdoğan had earlier described coalition governments as evil and the start of the country’s collapse.
