Un messaggio di solidarietà dal Ministero degli Esteri del governo tedesco: "Gli arresti del sindaco di Istanbul Ekrem #İmamoğlu e di circa altre 100 persone a Istanbul rappresentano un duro colpo per la democrazia in Turchia."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip #Erdoğan has taken the unprecedented step of arresting his prominent political rival, Ekrem #İmamoğlu, the mayor of #Istanbul, who had been outperforming Erdoğan in opinion polls. The arrest, based on charges of academic fraud, corruption, and support for terrorism, has triggered massive street protests, reflecting the significant popular backing for the opposition, which commands nearly 50% of the Turkish electorate. With tensions running high, observers are now asking: Is this the beginning of a Turkish Spring? Could this mark the end of Erdoğan’s era? The opposition faces formidable challenges, yet the opportunity remains—especially with the possibility of Western support. The situation is still unfolding, and #Turkey’s political future hangs in the balance.
