İsmail Yaşar, a 62-year-old farmer who will be running as an independent deputy candidate in the upcoming June 7 elections, arranged a meeting at the village square on Friday, but unfortunately, nobody came to listen to him except his relatives and the police on-duty.Living in the Adalı neighborhood of the Bigadiç district in the northwestern province Balıkesir, Yaşar had a tough break at the beginning of the meeting because the sound system did not work. After he solved the electricity problem, by spanning a cable from one of the residents in the village, he started his election meeting. However, Yaşar had a more serious problem, which was the absence of a crowd. His only supporters were his wife and seven relatives.Starting his speech by greeting the empty square, Yaşar introduced himself as a simple peasant like "them," underscored the ongoing faults of politics and promised to put the country into the right direction. "I can't take the ongoing mistakes made by this government. I'm a sensitive man, and I know how to deal with politics. I'm here for you, to take a stand against those wrong things," he said.Some of the residents stopped by the square and took photos of Yaşar as he addressed the empty square. Yaşar's meeting lasted 25 minutes.
