Turkey cracks down on opposition — why no outcry? | DW News

Описание: Turkey’s opposition is under pressure. A court decision has removed CHP leader Özgür Özel — triggering protests, police crackdowns, and a deepening political crisis.

In Izmir, thousands gathered in defiance, facing riot police and water cannons. The ruling has also sparked a bitter power struggle within the party, with former leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu returning — and divisions growing.
Arrests of opposition figures are continuing. But despite the tension, large-scale protests have yet to take hold.

Is that due to fear, fatigue — or a fragmented opposition?
