"Even when the economic realities suggest increased migration is a significant opportunity, if not a necessity, the scapegoating argument requiring reduced migration normally wins."   @profayhankaya.bsky.social  on right-wing populism &  anti-migration narratives in #MMR2024

"Not only are migrants used as scapegoats, but it may be entirely in the interests of populist parties – when in gov or close to power – to actively obstruct reforms or instigate new policies which exacerbate a sense of crisis around immigration & asylum." @profayhankaya.bsky.social  #MMR2024

KONDA Araştırma yurttaşlara İmamoğlu'nun tutuklanmasını ve protestolarla ilgili düşüncelerini sordu. Araştırma bulgularına göre: •Yüzde 21, eylemleri haklı buluyor.  •Yüzde 52, düzeni bozmadıkça eylemlere hak veriyor.  •Yüzde 27, eylemler haksızdır diyor.

15 million people out of 64 million voters were mobilized yesterday to elect the CHP’s presidential candidate, #Imamoglu, who is now in prison. Young people across the country managed to mobilise the masses, and CHP leader #Özel proved to win the hearts and minds. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
