I’ve known Özgür Özel and his fight for years — through the arrest of İmamoğlu and the ruling that erased his congress’s will. Today, Yeni Parti is born: 91 MPs rebuilding Turkey’s democratic opposition. Not a split — an answer to those who bend justice against the vote.

The Turkish opposition is shaking to its foundations. Former CHP leader Özgür Özel left the party along with 90 MPs and founded the New Party (Yeni Parti), which immediately becomes the strongest opposition faction in parliament with 91 MPs. Özel was removed from the head of CHP after a court annulled. (translated)
De Turkse oppositiepartij CHP is uiteengevallen, met de afgezette partijleider Özgür Özel die een nieuwe partij, waarschijnlijk genaamd Yeni Parti, opricht, terwijl ongeveer 85 van de 135 CHP-parlementariërs hem zullen volgen, wat de kansen van de regerende AKP bij de komende verkiezingen kan verhogen. #CHP #ÖzgürÖzel #YeniParti
