The Balance and Oversight Network's 'Our Eyes on Democracy' campaign

The Checks and Balances Network (BCA) is a movement of nearly 300 national/local civil society organisations and tens of thousands of supporters and followers from various segments of society and different political views, fighting together for the strengthening of participatory and pluralistic democracy.
Established in 2011 during the work on the new constitution, the Network has been carrying out monitoring, policy-making, public opinion-forming and advocacy activities since July 2012, aiming to contribute to the strengthening of the system of checks and balances, which is indispensable for the democratisation of Turkey.
We know that it is the consciousness of ‘active citizenship’ that will strengthen a participatory and pluralistic democracy and that this will be reinforced by a functioning system of checks and balances. In the first elections to be held in the 2nd century of the Republic, we reemphasise our demand for democracy with our principles and values and we say ‘Our eyes are on democracy’!
