The arrest of Turkish opposition leader Ekrem Imamoglu has triggered significant unrest in Turkey and ignited a political crisis. His supporters assert that the corruption charges against him are fabricated. A key challenger to President Erdogan, Imamoglu's imprisonment has led to massive protests across Turkey and a notable response from the Turkish community in Germany, which numbers around 3 million. While some express anger at the arrest, others remain indifferent. This divide is reflected in Berlin, where rallies showcase the ongoing struggle for democracy in Turkey under Erdogan's administration.
"With the Erdogan government, Turkey is going in the wrong direction," said retired tradesman Muharrem Dogan, 75. "We want democracy, that's what this protest represents."
"If something similar happened here, the police would react the same way. Of course the person has to go to court," said Ali of the arrest of opposition leader Ekrem Imamoglu.
