'Islamist' Turkey passes security package, While diversion 'Weekend at Bernie' with Suleiman shah is 'performed'. (AlMonitor).

Foul-mouthed quarrels and hassles between government and opposition members of parliament are frequent in Turkey’s parliament, even commonplace. In recent days, however, things have reached an alarming point, with an unprecedented climate of violence descending on parliament.

The confrontation that sparked the violent melees stems from a bill the AKP is trying to pass through parliament in a bid to equip police and public administrators with extraordinary powers.

Ironically, the 132-article bill — known as the internal security package — had a damaging impact on parliament’s own security as soon as the debate started.

The opposition, mainly the HDP and the CHP, argue that the bill, if approved, would put the final nail in the coffin of the rule of law in Turkey, transform it into a police state and undermine social peace. 

The objections pertain to provisions designed to bypass the judiciary in a series of situations that require judicial decisions and empower police and public administrators as the sole decision-makers. Hence, in a bid to delay the bill as much as possible, the opposition is trying to make use of all means they have at their disposal under parliamentary rules.

Here is an overview of the most contentious points in the internal security package Read the full story here.

Hmmm.......Why wait to act till the security bill is in Parliament? DIVERSION.

You can't say Erdogan did not warn them Quote:

Erdogan: "Democracy is like a train. We shall get out when we arrive at the station we want."

"Those who are neutral will be disposed of,"

Erdogan : "I'm not a dictator. It's not even in my blood,"
