Democracy Alert: Turkey

A civic call for rule of law and democratic pluralism

About the Initiative Follow Updates
Democratic backsliding has entered a new phase

Turkey’s democracy is at a breaking point.

What is happening in Turkey is no longer ordinary political tension. Courts, prosecutors and administrative bodies are being used to reshape the political field, target elected opposition leaders and weaken the country’s main democratic alternative.

1 Elected leaders are being targeted

Istanbul’s elected mayor and other opposition figures have faced escalating judicial and administrative pressure.

2 Courts are shaping politics

Legal tools are being used to weaken candidates, elected mayors and the opposition’s organizational capacity.

3 The opposition itself is under pressure

A court ruling has targeted the elected leadership of Turkey’s main opposition party.

4 Europe cannot treat this as routine

Turkey is a Council of Europe member, an EU candidate country and a strategic partner of Europe.

2024 CHP becomes Turkey’s leading party in local elections.
March 2025 Imamoglu’s degree is annulled; he is detained and arrested.
May 2026 A court intervenes in the leadership of the main opposition party.
Now European representatives must speak clearly for democratic pluralism.
