Turkey's declining democracy
Time
|April 14, 2025
ONCE AGAIN, Turkey faces political turmoil. Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), was detained on March 19 and then formally arrested on March 23.
-
He stands accused of a host of poorly evidenced charges: “establishing and managing a criminal organization, taking bribes, extortion, unlawfully recording personal data and rigging a tender.” Imamoglu, who called the charges a “black stain on our democracy,” has also been suspended from his position as mayor. If convicted, as is expected, he will not be allowed to run for President.
Despite this, the CHP, which says the arrest is politically motivated, held its previously scheduled primary and named Imamoglu as its presidential candidate for the 2028 election. Meanwhile, protests continue to rock Turkey.
Police have moved quickly to contain them in Istanbul, the largest city; Ankara, the capital; Izmir; and other cities around the country.

The Risk Report
THE U.K., FRANCE, AND GERMANY—Europe's political core—begin 2026 with weak, unpopular governments under siege from populists on both the left and right, and a Trump Administration openly working to undermine them. None of these countries holds general elections this year, but all three face risks of political paralysis—and maybe lasting damage.
