Attorney Hatice Yıldız: “Authoritarian Legalism Is Growing Stronger Every Day”

Attorney Hatice Yıldız made striking remarks on social media regarding Türkiye’s current political and legal climate.

Yıldız argued that the country has long been governed under what she described as “authoritarian legalism,” claiming that society and political actors failed to respond adequately when the process first began.

In her statement, Yıldız said, “What Türkiye has been experiencing for a long time is authoritarian legalism,” adding that the silence of political actors and the public has contributed to the worsening of the current situation.

The attorney further stated that authoritarian tendencies have escalated over time, saying, “Because all political actors and society failed to react when it first started, the pressure has intensified day by day, and we all know it will not stop here.”

Yıldız’s remarks sparked widespread discussion on social media, bringing debates over the rule of law, democratic oversight, and Türkiye’s political system back into focus.
