Very tense in Istanbul tonight: police tried to prevent CHP lawmakers and citizens from entering the CHP (via Halk TV). Incredibly worrying that police and ordinary citizens brought against each other like this.

Members of the main opposition party in Turkey, whose presidential candidate and dozens of mayors are in prison, cannot enter their own party building in Istanbul because tomorrow (Monday) the Istanbul branch of the party'll be taken over by a trustee appointed by the regime. Oligarchy in action!

According to this 2025 report by Friedrich Ebert Foundation, many immigrants to Germany leave the country after a while mainly because of the lack of a "welcome culture", which prevents them from developing a sense of belonging, and dissatisfaction with the social environment.

X account was blocked. Just think about it: Erdoğan controls state media, most private outlets, employs thousands of journalists to spread the regime’s truths. Yet they fail to convince the public. And they fear, to the core, one man tweeting from his prison cell.
