Açık ki karartma günlerindeyiz: Ekran karartma, meydan karartma, şimdi de hesap kapatma. Dünyayı yöneten otoriter koalisyon demokrasiyi karanlığa gömmeye ant içmiş. Rakiplerini oyunun dışına atmak için her türlü yöntemi kullanan ama “seçim var,daha ne” diyenlerin koalisyonu👇

1️⃣ Sleepless night in Turkey. The prosecutor has requested the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. A court decision is expected within hours. There’s also the possibility of a government-appointed trustee taking over the municipality.

📌 The timing of such a major political operation against İstanbul mayor İmamoğlu is based on more than just the primary elections of the CHP to elect its presidential candidate, planned to be held on March 23- it rests on two other key factors:(1/4)

Ank-Ar araştırmasına göre CHP gençlerde 1. parti. Biraz derinlemesine bakalım: Genç seçmen "yüzergezer" eğilimi yüksek bir grup. Bu oyların CHP'de kalıcılaşması ve yeni oyların çekilebilmesi için CHP'nin bu gruba özel çalışması gerekiyor. Bugün CHP'ye yarın Zafer'e öbür gün TİP'e yönelebilirler.
