Özet:

After the election of 1957, the Democratic Party (DP) faced two major problems. The first of these issues is economic and the second is political. The economic measures taken by the government, especially since 1958, have caused the cost of life and consequently resulted in a disadvantage. This has led to discomfort among the people and a weakening of support against the DP. In October 1958, the Republican Peasant National Party (CKMP) and the Republican National Party (CMP) joined the name of the Republican Peasant National Party (CKMP). But the failure of the TKP to spread its organization throughout the country has led to the participation in the CMP. In addition, the unification of the Hürriyet Party (HP) with the CHP in November 1958 led to the formation of the National Opposition Front (Power Union Front) in front of the DP. The Opposition Power Union, Adnan Menderes, went to foreign trips in order to eliminate power and provide reduced public support. The idea of establishing the Front of the Fatherland emerged immediately after the opposition established the Front of the Union of Power. On October 12, 1958, Menderes called for the establishment of the Vatan Front in his speech at the DP Manisa Provincial Congress. With the support of Celal Bayar, at the end of 1958, the Vatan Front branches began to be opened throughout the country. The organization of the Vatan Front in Manisa and its districts, the reasons for participation in the Vatan Front will be assessed by addressing the Prime Minister's Republic Archive documents and the period's press broadcasting bodies. While the organization of the Vatan Front in Manisa is being examined, the efforts of the DP’s self-legalization and opposition in the whole country will be discussed.
