Big group of riot police enters the hq of Turkey’s main opposition party in Ankara. They’re helping oust the party leadership after a court annulled the congress that elected them and appoint Kilicdaroglu, who has never won a single national election.

Turkish riot police fired tear gas and forced their way into the main opposition party's headquarters to evict its ousted leadership, deepening a crisis at the heart of Turkey's democracy https://t.co/Riv9nLhYiG

Kilicdaroglu is currently trying to subdue the Turkish main opposition CHP headquarters through police force to seize the building in Ankara.

Real shame.

This is the party which has founded the Republic of Turkey.

Siz bakmayın Özgür Özel şunu yanlış yaptı bunu yanlış yaptı diye yumuşak sedirinde kıçından ahkam kesenlere. Özgür Özel tek başına müthiş bir demokrasi mücadelesi veriyor. Genel merkezden çıkması bile partiyi korumak için yaptığı bir hamle parti binasına polis yollayan utanmazlara karşı bir CHP lilik gösterisi.

Turkey’s president has already squeezed much of the life out of his country’s democracy. At this rate, Turks may soon have no genuine opposition to vote for https://t.co/Bnm2qvtufp

Erdoğan zihniyetinin yargı eliyle yürüttüğü siyasi darbelere karşı hep birlikte mücadelede kararlıyız.

Alınan butlan kararı yok hükmündedir. Sadece CHP’ye yapılan bir darbe değildir; Türkiye’ye, demokrasiye, Cumhuriyet’e bir darbedir. Anayasal düzeni yok etmektir.

Mesele ciddidir. Partiler üstüdür. Milletçe Türkiye’ye sahip çıkma zamanıdır.

[Ekrem İmamoğlu (International) @imamoglu_int]

I say this with a heavy heart. The Erdoğan regime has now used captured courts to stage a judicial coup against the CHP, my political home and Türkiye’s oldest party.

Using the judiciary to replace a party’s democratically elected leadership carries no legitimacy. This is a blatant attempt to reshape political competition through the courts.

What happened today goes far beyond one party. It is an attack on the will of the people, on democracy, on the Republic, and on the foundations of the constitutional order.

Türkiye has seen too many moments when law was weaponized to redesign politics and this must not become another one.

This act is no longer only about party politics. The people of Türkiye must now stand together for their country.

We will not yield. Together, we will defend our party, our democracy, and our Republic.

Only CHP members can choose their leader, not Erdogan’s courts.

Blatant attack on Turkey’s main opposition party is unacceptable and cannot remain without consequences.

We’ll stand in solidarity with @imamoglu_int and @eczozgurozel

[European Democrats @democrats_eu]

A Turkish court has annulled the 2023 CHP leadership vote, opening the door to overturning the choice of Turkey’s main opposition party. Arrests were not enough. Detentions were not enough. Now Erdoğan’s system wants to decide who may lead the opposition. This is how democracy is weakened: not in one blow, but through institutions bent to political pressure. Europe must call it by its name: a direct attack on pluralism. And it must defend the democratic forces still standing.
