The New Welfare Party (Turkish: Yeniden Refah Partisi, YRP) is a minor political party in Turkey, a successor of The Welfare Party.[3] It was founded by former Prime Minister of Turkey Necmettin Erbakan's son Fatih Erbakan on 23 November 2018.[4][5] They adopt the National Outlook (Turkish: "Millî Görüş") ideology.

The party was founded with the slogan "We are here for our nation".[6][7][8] They could have made the most crowded first major congress in the history of the Republic of Turkey,[9] as about 45.000 people were there. They specified that their main goals are "First morality and spirituality, then design the new world order under the leadership of Turkey and set up the fair order."[10]

Controversies[]

The party's Istanbul Youth-wing Vice President, , made controversial comments on the 97th anniversary of the abolishment of the caliphate in Turkey:[11] "The days when we will declare Sharia-i Garra-i Muhammadiyyah are coming closer."[12]

The Turkish Constitution[13] forbids proposing or calling the abandonment of Secularism, or the abandonment of the law preventing it itself, alongside making the first four articles of the constitution untouchable and unchangeable.[14] Their predecessor was dissolved and banned by the Constitutional Court of Turkey in 1998 due to their Islamist agenda. (See also: Lost Trillion Lira Case.)

After the event, Sadık Tunç deleted his tweet about the topic.[12]

Policies[]

F. Erbakan has stated that the new party would replace the current system by a new presidential system, and that returning to a parliamentary system would be harmful. The party also wants to spread awareness and precaution against GMO seeds and food biotechnology.[citation needed] They will also take a strong anti-zionist position like their predecessor.[15]
