En domstol i Ankara har beordrat avsättningen av Özgür Özel, ledare för Turkiets största oppositionsparti CHP. Tyska politiker uttryckte oro över domslutet.

En domstol i Ankara beordrade på torsdagen avsättningen av CHP-ledaren Özgür Özel. Domstolen ogiltigförklarade partikongressen från 2023 med hänvisning till påstådda mutor till delegater för att rösta på honom.

Özel kallade beslutet politiskt motiverat och en svart dag för demokratin. Han sade att hans parti skulle överklaga till högsta domstolen och att han och hans kollegor inte skulle lämna partiets högkvarter.

Utrikespolitiske talespersonen Johann Wadephul kritiserade åtgärden vid sidan av ett NATO-möte i Helsingborg. Han sade att ett sådant beslut går emot Turkiets uttalade mål om EU-medlemskap.

Initiala reaktioner på X belyser oro för att rättslig inblandning undergräver Turkiets största oppositionsparti, medan vissa användare försvarar domslutet som en intern juridisk tvist inom CHP gällande påstådda oegentligheter snarare än en statlig konspiration. Inlägg noterar den tyske politikern Wadephuls uttryckta oro, potentiell politisk instabilitet samt maningar till enighet eller motstånd inom partiet.

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
