A court in Ankara has ordered the removal of Özgür Özel, leader of Turkey's largest opposition party CHP. German politicians voiced concern over the ruling.

A court in Ankara ordered the removal of CHP leader Özgür Özel on Thursday. The court annulled the 2023 party congress, citing alleged bribery of delegates to vote for him.

Özel called the decision politically motivated and a black day for democracy. He said his party would appeal to the Supreme Court and that he and his colleagues would not leave the party headquarters.

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul criticized the move on the sidelines of a NATO meeting in Helsingborg. He said such a decision contradicts Turkey's stated goal of EU membership.

Initial reactions on X highlight concerns about judicial interference undermining Turkey's main opposition, with some users defending the ruling as an internal CHP legal dispute over alleged irregularities rather than government conspiracy. Posts note German politician Wadephul's voiced concerns, potential political instability, and calls for party unity or resistance.

Seeing some people tweet pure brainrot about TR. Stop using lazy anti Erdogan cliches. This isn't a government conspiracy. CHP sued each other over fraud multiple CHP members ratted them out. Özgür Özel got unseated today. Zero research, high confidence.

A fascist court ordered the removal of bourgeois opposition leader Özgür Özel & other CHP board members. The AKP, whose own predecessor once faced a party ban, has found a new way to eliminate rivals by stripping them of their party responsibilities.

You are coordinatedly spreading disinformation about Turkey. The court didn't "oust" the opposition leader. This is an internal lawsuit filed by CHP’s own members over convention violations. The court just ruled it null & void. Stop fabricating fake narratives! 🛑

Turkish court removes head of main opposition CHP, Özgür Özel (a thorn in President Erdogan’s side) and replaces him with Kemal Kilicdaroglu (who poses no threat to Erdogan and has repeatedly lost to him). Turkey’s opposition is dealt another blow. https://t.co/JUTXCLv3Sv
