A Turkish court formally arrested Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and ordered him jailed pending the outcome of a trial on corruption charges.

    I’ve been attending these protests, the police is going aggressive at certain places, still me and a lot of people are not backing down. In Imamoglu’s words, “Either we all win, or none of us does”

    Unfortunately, this is not going to receive much condemnation from the West given current conditions. The US doesn’t give a crap about this kind of this anymore. The EU needs Turkiye onside geopolitically… not to mention any objections from them are too easily brushed off as hypocrisy given the Romanian situation + efforts to disqualify Le Pen. It’s probably why Erdogan chose to act now after tolerating Imamoglu’s presence for the past few years.
