Tens of thousands of supporters of the main opposition group in Turkey, the Republican People's Party (CHP), protested on Sunday at the center of Ankara against the abuse of power by the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The opposition claims that the authorities use the justice system.


The court is to decide on Monday to annul the CHP Congress of 2023. The Reuters agency pointed out that this verdict can cause changes in the party, influence financial markets and the date of presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey planned for 2028. The court may also translate decisions in this matter.
At the Sunday rally, the leader of the CHP Ozel estimated that the government was trying to keep power by undermining democratic standards and suppress the opposition opposition in local elections last year.
In March this year He was detained and then arrested at the time of the Imamogle Ekrem investigation – a politician considered to be the main political rival of President Erdogan. Imamoglu was then elected by CHP for her candidate in the presidential election.
In a letter sent by an imamogle from prison and read at a rally, the oppositionist warned that the government was trying to determine the result of the upcoming elections in advance by marginalizing the opponents. He also accused the government of undermining democracy by bringing politically motivated processes to oppositionists.
“The era” I “in this country will end and the era” we “will start. One person will lose, but everyone else will win,” Imamoglu wrote probably thinking of President Erdogan.
The oppositionist was removed in March by the government from the function of the mayor of Istanbul. (PAP)
