- Singularity of the Right to Vote and Be Elected:
According to Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 67 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey, the right to vote and be elected is a singular right belonging to the individual. The requirement that an individual must find 29 more people to support them in order to aspire to govern the country and to declare a political view (statute/program) in this regard, prevents the individual’s right to “political representation”, which he possesses alone, with a bureaucratic barrier. - The Proposal and Acceptance Principle:
The emergence of a political movement is based on a legal “contract” logic. A founding will (one person) offers a model of governance to society (Proposal). Individuals who believe in this proposal then join the movement over time (Acceptance). The law’s imposition of a “group of 30 people” at the very beginning of this natural “proposal-acceptance” process is contrary to the natural flow of politics and the starting point of freedom of association. - The Principle of Legal Personality and Equality:
According to the Turkish Commercial Code, a “Limited Company” or, according to the Turkish Civil Code, a “Foundation” can acquire legal personality with the will of a single person. While a profit-making structure can be established with a single person; the requirement of 30 people for the legal personality of a “Political Party” that is not profit-making and aims to serve the national will creates inequality and unfair restriction among the definitions of legal personality in the legal system. 4. The Invalidity of the “Shell Party” Defense:
This numerical threshold, imposed by the state to “prevent shell parties,” actually prevents the emergence of new and original ideas. Whether a political party exists should be decided not by the numerical requirements of the legislator, but by the “acceptance” of the people at the ballot box. If a movement that starts with a single person does not find support from the people, it will naturally be eliminated; preventing this situation beforehand by law kills “political competition.”
CONCLUSION AND REQUEST:
For the reasons explained above, it is established that the requirement of “30 founding members” for the establishment of a political party is contrary to individual rights and freedoms, the singularity of the right to be elected, and universal legal principles. Within the framework of the charter and program I have submitted, I respectfully request and demand the acceptance and registration of the Political Party establishment declaration, which I initiated with my sole founding will, as a “legal entity.” Sincerely,
