Podcast appearances and mentions of ekrem imamoglu

“Someone said, oh, you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that… No, I just shaved my hair and lost some pounds.” — Kaya Genç on Trumpism's global fanbase The NATO circus rumbled into the Turkish capital of Ankara this week resembling more of a gun show than an alliance summit. Ringmaster Donald J. Trump promised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the F-35s and lifted the very sanctions that Trump himself had imposed. Erdogan handed out pistols to the assembled leaders — with poor old Keir Starmer (no Winston Churchill) leaving his at the airport. And observing all these clowns from Istanbul was the Turkish novelist and essayist Kaya Genç. As a contributor to the anthology How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, Genç is a keen America watcher. He first set foot in the United States in January 2017, stumbling into New York City's protests against Trump 1.0's Muslim-ban. What seemed temporary — Trump as a bizarre historical aberration — looked to Erdogan-literate Kaya Genç like an operating manual for 21st century populist authoritarianism. Turkey, Genç argues, has spent a century Americanizing itself. First with the 20th century Marshall Plan, the highways, the Hilton hotels, and finally an American-style executive presidency operating on the politics of referendum. Now, he says, the whole world — from Turkey to France and Britain — is living with the consequences of 21st century Americanization. Like a more functional NATO, right-wing populists operate like an international alliance. Erdogan, Trump, Meloni, Le Pen and Farage are like a club in which projecting strength at summits buys impunity at home. And this club has a house style. Turkish right-wing columnists, Genç reports, deploy Michael Corleone on their X banners — exactly David Thomson's warning earlier this week about Hollywood's glorification of on-screen violence. So, in a way, America observers like Kaya Genç got a sneak preview of Trump's America in movies like The Godfather. First as cinema, then as life. From both Turkey and Russia with love. Five Takeaways •       NATO: The Club of the Mighty. The night before the summit, activists were rounded up in Ankara — LGBTQ rights defenders, labor unionists, journalists — as threats to NATO security. In Turkish civil society, Genç explains, NATO doesn't represent the liberal world order; it represents the mighty, and has since the writers of the 1960s. The summit itself was a military passion show: jets overhead, revolvers gifted among the attendees, and a host country whose ruling politicians no longer hide that arms exports — including the drones Ukraine used so effectively — are now the mission of the Turkish economy. •       Trump: A Star Among Right-Wing Voters Everywhere. In India, a chubbier, longer-haired Genç was once told: you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that. The Turkish media savaged Biden but forgives Trump everything — Netanyahu is the villain of the Turkish press, while Trump speaks the language. Not Turkish (though he tried a phrase): the language of the presidential system. The Turkish right's America has always been selective — yes to the death penalty and gun ownership, no to labor rights, free expression, and the trans movement — an instinct as old as the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's advice to copy Germany's industriousness and leave out the decadence. •       Living the Consequences of Americanization. Turkey began its republic in the 1920s on the European model — parliament, proportional voices for an ethnically diverse country. After the Marshall Plan, it re-forged itself on the American one: highways, Hilton hotels, burger joints, and eventually an American-style executive presidency, approved by referendum over the objections of people like Genç. That's why Trump 1.0 read so differently in the two countries: in New York it looked like an exception to be fought off; in Ankara it looked like how American politics works — and something to imitate. •       Populists Learn Like Large Language Models. Did Erdogan create the model, or is Trump teaching Erdogan? Neither, says Genç: it's a dialogue — right-wing populism learning from itself the way AI learns from language models. The AKP ran a Gramscian culture war through the institutions; Meloni, Le Pen, and Farage apply the cosmetic soft brush that makes fascist-rooted politics presentable. Join the club, project strength at the summit, and whatever you do domestically stops mattering. Putin, notably, is not in the curriculum: Turkey is returning its S-400s to get the F-35s, and Russia is becoming a footnote. •       The Hologram and the Pushback. Ekrem Imamoglu — the Istanbul mayor Genç profiles in The Dial as the hologram candidate — won the city with socialist municipalism, and the skeptics who warned it would alienate the pious were simply wrong. Soft liberalism, the faith Genç himself held since the nineties, is disappearing; the pushback is finding its heroes in dead poets — Rosa Luxemburg, and Sevgi Soysal, whose novel Walking is out in English from New York Review Books. From Istanbul to Middle America, Mamdani to AOC, Genç's advice to the left is the same: don't fragment — conquer the big parties. About the Guest Kaya Genç is a novelist and essayist from Istanbul. He is the author of Under the Shadow: Rage and Revolution in Modern Turkey and The Lion and the Nightingale, and his writing appears in The Dial, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Index on Censorship, and Jewish Quarterly.

Turkey's main opposition says its Western allies are failing to respond as a widening crackdown by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government targets its leaders and elected mayors. The latest arrests this week followed a court decision to remove Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Ozgur Ozel and reinstate former leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu in an unprecedented move that was widely condemned by Turkish and international human rights groups. The European Union's response has been far more restrained. "There are some visits, there are some letters sent to us," said Ilhan Uzgel, the CHP's former deputy chair. "There are some public statements regarding the situation in Turkey, but the wording and language used is quite mild. [There's] no action." The CHP has faced more than a year of arrests targeting its mayors on corruption charges. This week, two more were detained, adding to a list that already includes jailed Istanbul mayor and presidential candidate Ekrem Imamoglu. HRW denounces Turkey arrests ahead of NATO summit Strategic partner Uzgel said the European Union can no longer stand by and should take a firmer stance. "Mr Erdogan has to be told, 'you're destroying democracy and what you're doing is against the rule of law,'" said Uzgel. "There could be some kind of a diplomatic isolation," he added. "So whenever Mr Erdogan meets a foreign leader, he's selling it to his own audience, the Turkish public, that he's a world leader. At least this opportunity could be taken from his hand." Yet Erdogan is expected to reinforce his international standing at next month's Nato summit in Ankara. "The two big allies of Turkey have decided not to make human rights an issue in the bilateral relationship," said Asli Aydintasbas, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. She notes that the EU and Washington have found rare common ground over Turkey. "For President Trump, this comes naturally; he doesn't care about human rights advancement globally," she said. "But now Europeans are also looking for some type of functional relationship with Turkey and wanting to disregard human rights as an impediment to bilateral relations." Turkey steps up as Europe's indispensable and uncomfortable defence partner Federico Donelli, an international relations expert at the University of Trieste, said the European Union's restrained response reflected Turkey's growing strategic importance. "The restraint of EU reaction is closely linked to an increase in recognition of Turkey's structural importance for European security." With Nato's second-largest army and a rapidly expanding defence industry, Turkey is increasingly seen as an important security partner as Europe faces the threat from Russia and uncertainty over the United States' long-term commitment. "The US is definitely less stable than in the past, so in this context Turkey is increasingly seen less as a [EU] candidate country and more as a strategic partner," said Donelli. Pressure on Greece and Cyprus Donelli said this shift could increase pressure on Greece and Cyprus, which have long used their vetoes to slow closer EU defence ties with Turkey because of disputes in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean. "We know how much the two countries have conditioned EU-Turkey relations for many years," said Donelli. "These two countries cannot constrain broader EU strategic choices in the next few years, in the next decade." Amid the Russian threat and uncertainty over America's resolve, Turkey's opposition worries it is being sacrificed in the name of Europe's security.  "Historically, Turkish EU relations were working for the democratisation of Turkey, but the equation has been reversed. The EU-Turkey ties have been working against Turkey's democratisation," said Uzgel. "The closer Mr Erdogan gets to the EU, [the more] we are losing democracy in Turkey." He nonetheless warned that Europe's approach is short-sighted and could have wider consequences. "Turkey is a country of 86 million, so if democracy fails here, it has to have some implications for other countries as well."

On May 21st a Turkish court took the unprecedented step of removing the CHP's elected leadership, led by Ozgur Ozel, the latest sign of Turkish President Erdogan's tightening grip on the country. It's also a sign that Erdogan intends to run for another term as president, and with Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in prison, this move can only mean one thing: Erdogan does not intend to leave the result of a future election up to chance. The opposition has vowed it will fight back, but the broader question is whether this is the last nail in the coffin for Turkey's democracy. Can it recover, and if so, is this a fight it will have to undertake on its own? President Donald Trump's praise of Erdogan as a “tough guy” who has “done a very good job”, and the EU's wider focus on the transatlantic relationship and Ukraine, have many doubting if the West will bring any pressure down on Ankara. At the same time, another story is brewing in north Africa, where Turkey is looking to expand its influence in Libya. Recent reports are indicating a new Turkish push to engage with Benghazi, while we've also seen headlines hinting at US-Turkish coordination in Libya and a potential US effort to unify Libya. Greece is undoubtedly watching these developments closely, especially considering Turkey is likely to press Benghazi to support its illegal 2019 maritime agreement with Tripoli. Ayla Jean Yackley, Henri Barkey, Ambassador Marc Pierini, and Aya Burweila join Thanos Davelis as we break down the latest crackdown on Turkey's opposition and its wider ramifications, while looking into what Turkey is up to in Libya.

En premier reportage, direction la Turquie, un an après l'emprisonnement du maire d'Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu. C'est précisément le 19 mars 2025 après plusieurs mois d'une saga judiciaire qu'il est arrêté, lui qui dans la foulée sera désigné candidat de son parti pour la présidentielle de 2028... Le second reportage aura un goût de vacances, direction la Norvège et les fabuleux paysages des Lofoten, mais les habitants, les infrastructures, et la nature ploient sous le flot de touristes. Turquie : une année amère pour l'opposition En Turquie, le 19 mars 2025, après plusieurs mois d'une tension judiciaire grandissante, Ekrem Imamoglu est arrêté. Il est le maire d'Istanbul. La grande métropole turque est sous les projecteurs. Dans une vidéo, il s'adresse à la nation alors que la police est à sa porte. Quelques jours plus tard, alors que le Parti républicain du peuple (CHP) le désigne comme candidat à l'élection présidentielle, il est placé en détention, pour des accusations de corruption.  Alors qu'il est considéré comme le principal opposant au président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan, son arrestation provoque à Istanbul et dans les autres principales villes du pays une vague de contestation jamais connue depuis les manifestations de Gezi en 2013. Depuis, les opposants n'ont pas lâché prise. Un Grand reportage de Mathilde Warda qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.   Surtourisme aux Lofoten : mémoire et culture en résistance En Norvège, les îles Lofoten ont acquis avec l'essor d'Instagram et de Tiktok une notoriété inattendue. Chaque année, un flot de plus d'un million de touristes vient cohabiter avec une petite population locale de 25 000 personnes. Conséquences : dégradation des espaces naturels, excréments humains dans les jardins et les cimetières, mais aussi la perte d'identité. Le rorbur, la petite maison rouge typique des pêcheurs, est devenu le symbole par excellence d'Airbnb, effaçant peu à peu la grande tradition séculaire de la pêche. Un Grand reportage de Danae Rivadeneyra qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Il y a un an, le 19 mars 2025, un séisme politique secouait la Turquie. Le maire d'Istanbul, la plus grande ville du pays, et principal opposant du président Erdogan, était arrêté pour des allégations de corruption, puis incarcéré quatre jours plus tard. Sa détention a déclenché une vague de manifestations massives et une mobilisation inédite dans les rangs de son parti, le CHP, qui dénonce un complot visant à saboter la candidature d'Ekrem Imamoglu à la prochaine présidentielle. Depuis un an, la branche jeunesse du parti est particulièrement mobilisée derrière lui et ne perd pas espoir.  Ankara, siège du CHP, Parti républicain du peuple. Özgür Özel, son dirigeant, tient une conférence de presse consacrée à ce qu'il appelle « le gang judiciaire » derrière l'arrestation d'Ekrem Imamoglu et son procès pour « corruption ». Cela fait un an que le maire d'Istanbul, le principal rival de Recep Tayyip Erdogan, est derrière les barreaux. Au fond de la salle, téléphone à la main, Dogukan Koçoglu retranscrit l'événement sur les réseaux sociaux. Sur sa veste de costume bleue, il porte un drapeau rouge orné de six flèches blanches, le symbole du CHP. Il a 23 ans. Il se souvient très bien du 19 mars 2025, le matin de l'arrestation d'Ekrem Imamoglu. « Je ne me suis jamais senti aussi désespéré… J'ai pensé que tout était fini, que ce pays n'avait plus d'avenir », dit-il. Du désespoir à la mobilisation Un an plus tard, ce membre de la branche jeunesse du CHP n'est plus dans le même état d'esprit. Il parle avec excitation des manifestations massives qui ont suivi l'arrestation, puis des rassemblements hebdomadaires du CHP dans tout le pays, jusqu'au 99e, cette semaine, devant la mairie d'Istanbul. « Je sens qu'on est beaucoup plus forts qu'il y a un an. Le CHP, Ekrem Imamoglu, moi, les autres militants… Parce qu'on a quand même traversé des épreuves inimaginables ! Le pouvoir a fait emprisonner une quinzaine de nos maires. Il a même essayé de mettre le parti sous tutelle, mais il a échoué. Au CHP, on est conscients qu'on est à l'aube d'une renaissance, mais que l'accouchement se fait dans la douleur. On attend avec impatience les élections, le jour où ce pouvoir devra rendre des comptes ». « Si on ne fait rien maintenant, demain il ne restera rien à défendre » Cette élection présidentielle aura lieu au plus tard en mai 2028. Mais la candidature d'Ekrem Imamoglu semble plus que compromise. Non seulement il est en prison et accablé par les procès, mais son diplôme universitaire a été annulé la veille de son arrestation au prétexte d'irrégularités, ce qui l'empêche légalement de briguer la fonction suprême. Pourtant, le CHP refuse d'envisager un autre candidat. Okan Apan, rapporteur pour la jeunesse au sein du QG de campagne d'Ekrem Imamoglu, l'explique avec un proverbe turc. « C'est l'histoire du loup qui s'approche du troupeau et dit : "Je ne veux que le bœuf roux, après je vous laisse tranquille". Mais bien sûr, le loup ne cesse de revenir, d'exiger toujours plus… À la fin, il n'y a plus de troupeau. Si on laisse tomber Imamoglu, tout autre candidat sérieux se trouvera empêché à son tour. Ce serait jeter le CHP dans une impasse ». Ce militant signale aussi que les rangs de la branche jeunesse du CHP n'ont fait que croître depuis un an, malgré la répression. « Chez beaucoup de jeunes, il y a ce sentiment très fort que si on ne prend pas de risque maintenant, si on ne fait rien maintenant, demain il ne restera rien à défendre ». D'ici aux élections, le CHP a l'intention de continuer à manifester, mais aussi d'être plus présent sur le terrain, auprès des électeurs. Et notamment auprès des jeunes.  À lire aussiTurquie: Ekrem Imamoglu, l'ancien maire d'Istanbul et rival d'Erdogan, face à ses juges

This week kicked off with Turkey announcing the deployment of a number of fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, a move that not only represents a significant escalation in the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Cyprus has already been targeted by Iranian-made drones, but that may also violate US law. This isn't the only thing putting Cyprus in the headlines this week. Axios and the Financial Times reported Cyprus could potentially mediate talks between Israel and Lebanon after violence broke out between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. Turkey's moves in the Eastern Mediterranean aren't the only thing worrying analysts and observers. Developments on the domestic front are also keeping those watching the region on alert, as the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu, the imprisoned mayor of Istanbul, kicked off this week. Imamoglu's trial is largely seen as politically motivated and an effort to prevent him from challenging President Erdogan. Sinan Ciddi, Elisa Ewers, Lisel Hintz, and Henri Barkey join Thanos Davelis this week as we take a closer look at Turkey's decision to deploy fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, Israel's escalating offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're spotlighting Eleni Delimpaltadaki Janis, a founding member of HALC with a career that spans across government and the private sector. This includes serving as Vice President at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and working to transform and solve some of the world's most persistent socio-economic problems as a founder of Equivico. Stay tuned as we dig into her story. A little more info on our guests: Sinan Ciddi is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and director of its Turkey program. Elisa Ewers is a senior fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Lisel Hintz is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

2000 Jahre Haft drohen dem ehemaligen Istanbuler Bürgermeister Ekrem Imamoglu im Prozess, den ihm das Erdogan-Regime gerade macht - Symbol einer neuen Repressionswelle gegen die Opposition und Ausdruck eines wachsenden Autoritarismus in der Türkei.

De Oekraïense oorlogswinter mag dan eindelijk op z'n eind lopen, de gevolgen van de Russische bombardementen op het energiesysteem laten zich steeds nadrukkelijker gelden. Er is niet of nauwelijks stroom en verwarming.  De reparateurs blijven druk met het repareren van de schade, ook omdat de Russen blijven bombarderen. Nu de temperatuur stijgt, blijken veel leidingen dat ook nog eens niet aan te kunnen. Onze verslaggever Michiel Driebergen bezocht een boekhandel die plotseling onder water stond. (10:40) Europese burgemeesters vóór Turkse democratie Vandaag protesteren Europese burgemeesters in Istanbul voor de vrijlating van Ekrem Imamoglu. De burgemeester van Istanbul wordt gezien als de grote rivaal van president Erdogan en zit al bijna een jaar vast op verdenking van corruptie. Volgens critici gaat het om een politiek gemotiveerde zaak en dreigt Turkije af te glijden in een autocratie. Daarover initiatiefnemer Mathias De Clercq, burgemeester van Gent, en Turkijekenner Cevahir Varan. Presentatie: Laila Frank

Dans le cadre de la justice restaurative, Salah Abdeslam, dernier terroriste survivant du 13 novembre, souhaite rencontrer les proches de ses victimes, selon son avocat. L'objectif, grâce à un médiateur, est d'aider à la fois à la reconstruction des victimes et à la réintégration des délinquants. Ruth Elkrief pense que cela n'est pas valable dans le cas du terrorisme. Blédina est une marque emblématique de la petite enfance, portée par Danone. L'entreprise va délocaliser sa production en Pologne. Le consommateur ne fait pas toujours l'affaire du producteur. Pascal Perri pense que, quand les consommateurs privilégient la seule logique des prix, ils accablent les salariés des entreprises françaises de production et appauvrissent le pays. En Turquie, le sultan emprisonne son principal opposant, Ekrem Imamoglu, le maire d'Istanbul, pour 2?430 ans. Le pays s'éloigne chaque jour un peu plus de la démocratie. Depuis des années, il manipule la justice contre ses opposants. La justice est devenue synonyme d'oppression. Selon Abnousse Shalmani, Erdogan ne nous donne plus que des preuves de son autocratie. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Die türkische Oppositionspartei CHP wurde 2024 stärkste Kraft bei den Gemeindewahlen.

The legal noose is tightening around Turkey's main opposition party, with waves of arrests targeting mayors and local officials. But the troubles of the Republican People's Party (CHP) could deepen further, as a court case threatens the removal of its leadership. "We are fighting for the future of Turkey's democracy," said party leader Ozgur Ozel to tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in Ankara on Saturday. Ozel has been travelling the country since March, when Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested on graft charges. The case marked the start of a legal assault on the CHP. Ozel now speaks at rallies twice a week, despite his often hoarse voice. The party is also defending itself in court over alleged voting irregularities at a congress two years ago that elected Ozel as leader. If the court rules against them, Ozel and the rest of the party leadership could be removed and replaced by state-appointed trustees. "It's unprecedented," said political analyst Sezin Oney of the Politics news portal. "There has not been such a purge, such a massive crackdown on the opposition, and there is no end in sight, that's the issue." Macron and Erdogan find fragile common ground amid battle for influence Arrests and polls On Wednesday, another CHP mayor in Istanbul was jailed, bringing the total to 16 detained mayors and more than 300 other officials. Most face corruption charges. The arrests come as the CHP's new leadership is stepping up its challenge to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Recent opinion polls give Imamoglu and other CHP figures double-digit leads over the president. Oney said the prosecutions are part of Erdogan's wider strategy. "He's trying to complete the transformation, the metamorphosis as I call it, of Turkey to become a full authoritarian country," she said. "There is an opposition but the opposition is a grotesque opposition, that can never have the power actually to be in government. But they give the perception as if the country is democratic because there are elections." Armenia and Azerbaijan peace deal raises hopes of Turkish border reopening ‘Multi-front attack' Ilhan Uzgel, the CHP's foreign affairs coordinator, said the party is under siege. "We are under a multi-front attack from all directions at almost every level, running from one court case to another," he said. He argued that Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is using fear to force defections. "Sixteen of our mayors are in jail right now, and they threaten our mayors. You either join our party or you face a jail term," Uzgel said. Erdogan rejects any suggestion of coercion and insists the judiciary is independent. Since he came to power more than 20 years ago, however, not a single AKP mayor has been convicted on graft charges – though on Friday at least two local mayors from the ruling party were detained as part of a corruption investigation. Turkey warns Kurdish-led fighters in Syria to join new regime or face attack Political risks Despite appearing dominant, Erdogan may face a backlash. Atilla Yesilada, a political analyst with Global Source Partners, said the crackdown is fuelling public anger. "You look at recent polls, the first complaint remains economic conditions, but justice rose to number two. These things don't escape people's notice; that's what I mean when I say Erdogan took a huge political risk with his career," he said. Erdogan currently trails behind several potential challengers, but elections are still more than two years away. Yesilada said much depends on the stance of Erdogan's ally Devlet Bahceli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party. "It's quite possible at some point, Bahceli will say enough is enough, you are destroying the country, and may also end the coalition," he said. Bahceli formed an informal alliance with Erdogan in 2018, when Turkey switched to a presidential system. Erdogan relies on Bahceli's parliamentary deputies to pass constitutional reforms needed to secure another term. Bahceli has voiced concern about the pressure on the CHP, which has been trying to win his support. But with the court expected to rule next month on the party's leadership, the CHP says it will keep fighting. "The only thing that we can do is rely on our people, our electorate, and the democratic forces in the country. We are not going to give up," said Uzgel.

Ekrem Imamoglu, der abgesetzte Stadtpräsident von Istanbul und Präsidentschaftskandidat ist ein Gegner des türkischen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Seit März ist Imamoglu hinter Gittern und wird von Anklagen überschüttet. Am Freitag beginnt ein Prozess gegen den Oppositionspolitiker. Kritiker werfen der Regierung vor, mit Hilfe der Justiz den größten Konkurrenten von Präsident Erdogan ausschalten zu wollen. Die Bevölkerung protestiert seit Monaten gegen Imamoglus Festnahme. Die Regierung reagiert mit hunderten von Festnahmen, auch von 14-Jährigen und Studierenden. Ein mit einem Schal vermummtes Mädchen hielt den Polizisten ein Schild entgegen: «Bitte kein Tränengas, vielleicht bin ich ja deine Tochter, und du glaubst, ich sei zu Hause». Erdogans Umfragewerte sinken derweil, selbst in seinen Stammlanden. Hat Erdogans grösster Konkurrent Imamoglu unter diesen Umständen überhaupt eine Chance, 2028 kandidieren zu können? Zumal die Justiz nicht mehr unabhängig ist. Susanne Güsten berichtet seit 1997 für verschiedene Medien aus Istanbul. Sie ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Ivana Pribakovic.

Es braucht viel Mut, um in der Türkei zu protestieren. Da ist sich Martin Lück sicher. Der Volkswirt beobachtet mit großem Interesse, was am Bosporus passiert: Seit Ekrem Imamoglu am 19. März festgenommen, in Untersuchungshaft gesteckt und als Istanbuler Bürgermeister abgesetzt wurde, kritisieren dessen Anhänger den zunehmend autoritären Kurs von Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Weit über 800 Menschen wurden inzwischen angeklagt. Europa, meint Lück, könnte mehr Kante zeigen.Imamoglu ist innenpolitisch der schärfste Konkurrent Erdogans. Offiziell geht es um Korruptions- und Terrorunterstützung, doch für die Unterstützer des Oppositionsführers sind diese Vorwürfe politisch motiviert. "Erdogan hat entschieden, Imamoglu aus dem Spiel zu nehmen", sagt Türkei-Kenner Lück im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Er hält den Zeitpunkt der Festnahme für keinen Zufall: Imamoglu sollte wenig später von seiner Partei als Kandidat für die nächste Präsidentschaftswahl aufgestellt werden.Aus Deutschland kommen kritische Rufe nach schneller Aufklärung. Doch diese Stimmen sind "bemerkenswert leise", sagt Lück. Die Türkei ist ein Land, das aus europäischer Sicht strategisch enorm wichtig ist. So ist Erdogan zwar auf der einen Seite Partner des Westens, zugleich pflegt er einen guten Draht zu Putin. Was auf ersten Blick kaum zusammenpasst, stärkt die Verhandlungsposition des türkischen Präsidenten gegenüber seinen europäischen Partnern: "Erdogan weiß um seine Macht", sagt der Volkswirt. "Ich würde fast sagen, er hat uns in gewisser Hinsicht in der Hand."Denn seit US-Präsident Donald Trump die Weltordnung durcheinanderwirbelt, ist die Türkei aus europäischer Perspektive wichtiger denn je: für Handelsrouten und Flüchtlingsdeals, aber auch für sicherheitspolitische Aspekte. Denn die Türkei ist Nato-Partner mit enormer Schlagkraft. Das Land verfügt nach den USA über die zweitgrößte Truppenstärke aller Bündnispartner.Für Lück steht fest: Erdogans Lust an der Macht ist groß. Das Vorgehen des türkischen Präsidenten gegen Imamoglu hält er für einen Schritt in Richtung Diktatur. Mit einem schärferen Vorgehen gegen türkische Propaganda auf deutschem Boden könnte man Erdogan "vielleicht ein bisschen weh tun". Ausreichen werde das aber nicht. Vor allem hofft Lück deshalb auf den Mut der Menschen in der Türkei - und dass sie sich auch in Zukunft nicht einschüchtern lassen. Denn auch Erdogan "wird nicht ewig an der Macht sein".Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload. Die Folge haben wir erstmals am 10.

Ab heute heisst es wieder «Hopp Schwiiz!», denn heute geht die Fussball Europameisterschaft der Frauen los. Die Schweiz ist Gastgeberin einer EM, die einige Rekorde brechen wird. Und trotzdem ist auch jetzt schon klar: Das Turnier ist ein Minus-Geschäft. Weitere Themen in dieser Sendung: Im Krieg zwischen Israel und der Hamas soll es erneut eine Kampfpause geben. Israel habe einer 60-tägigen Waffenruhe zugestimmt, teilt US-Präsident Donald Trump mit. Die US-Regierung hat zum Teil bereits zugesagte Militärhilfen an die Ukraine nun doch nicht geliefert. Vom Verteidigungsministerium heisst es, man befürchte, dass die eigenen Bestände zu niedrig würden. Vor 100 Tagen wurde in der Türkei der Stadtpräsident von Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, verhaftet, nun haben deswegen Tausende Menschen in Istanbul gegen die Regierung von Präsident Erdogan demonstriert. Zur Kundgebung aufgerufen hatte Imamoglus Partei CHP.

We're turning to Turkey today, where Turkish markets rallied on Monday after a Turkish court adjourned a case that could force the removal of the main opposition party's leader. Despite this decision, there is still rising political uncertainty in the country as Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu remains imprisoned, and questions remain about the direction Turkey's economy is heading. Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo, joins Thanos Davelis as we dig into these developments.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkish Markets Rally After Key Opposition Case AdjournedTurkey's economic woes catch up with Erdoğan Cyprus invites Erdogan to summit despite long rift over 1974 invasionInviting the invader?Trump Lifts Sanctions on Syria, Tightening His Embrace of Its New Leader

This week Turkey's President Erdogan said he was putting together a team to draft a new constitution, a move that comes in the wake of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's arrest. Many critics see this push for a new constitution as a power play designed to allow Erdogan to remain in power beyond 2028, when his current term ends. Sinan Ciddi, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics, joins Thanos Davelis to look into what's at stake for Turkish democracy and why it matters for the US and Europe.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:A Turkey With No Elections?Turkey's Erdogan appoints legal team to draft new constitution, sparking fears of extended ruleIndia turns its gaze to Cyprus as gateway to Europe and the Middle EastGov't drafts tougher law for rejected asylum seekers, Mitsotakis says

President Trump said that he had a "very good and productive" call with Turkish President Erdogan, adding that Erdogan had invited him to Turkey and that he would also be coming to Washington. The call comes in the wake of a new crackdown on dissent in Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, amid speculation that Turkey could send its Russian S-400 missiles to Syria, and as Israel and Turkey are increasingly at odds over Syria. Henri Barkey, an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into Trump and Erdogan's call and the wider messages it sends.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Trump says he had a productive call with Turkey's Erdogan, visits plannedEU to set out plans to halt Russian gas imports by end-2027Greece's booming tourism sector in race to find workers as summer season looms

Germany's parliament blocked the sale of Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey earlier this month. This decision follows the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, and comes amid reports that Turkey is pressing the US to lift CAATSA sanctions and sell it F-35s. Sinan Ciddi, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics, and Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at FDD, join Thanos Davelis as we break down why Germany's move is significant and whether it should serve as an example to the Trump administration.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:‘Attack on Democracy': Germany Blocks Eurofighter Sale to Turkey for Imprisoning Opposition LeaderTime For a New Policy Toward ErdoganFinMin sends message of recovery from IMF Spring MeetingsGreece announces 1 billion euros in financial benefits after posting 1.3% budget surplus

Since Turkish President Erdogan arrested Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, the country has been rocked by protests and political uncertainty. In the meantime, the main opposition is looking to keep up the pressure on Erdogan and translate anger over Imamoglu's arrest into a cause that resonates broadly with voters. Dr. Lisel Hintz, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and an expert on Turkey, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how Imamoglu's arrest continues to impact Turkish politics, and break down why Turkey's democratic future matters beyond its own borders.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:How Turkey's opposition plans to take on ErdoğanTurkish court rejects appeal to release Imamoglu as protests persistWhy Turkey's democratic future matters for the worldGreece declares EEZ in Ionian Sea after unveiling maritime spatial plan''This isn't about headscarves, it's about who we are''

For over two decades Turkey's President Erdogan has endured a number of challenges to his power - from court corruption investigations and close elections to a failed coup in 2016 - and has emerged more powerful. The decision to arrest Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu and Turkey's assertive presence in Syria are Erdogan's latest gambles. Ryan Gingeras, a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and an expert on Turkish, Balkan, and Middle East history, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down whether this could be Erdogan's last great gamble. The views expressed in this interview do not reflect the views of the US government.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan's last great gambleGerapetritis highlights importance of maritime spatial planGreece finalizes marine spatial planning, releases official mapFrontex: Illegal crossings into Europe down one third in a year

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 11 avril 2025.Avec cette semaine :François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique en ligne Blick.L'ÉTAT DU COMMERCE INTERNATIONALDonald Trump a lancé le 2 avril une charge commerciale massive sous la forme d'une augmentation des droits de douane si lourde qu'elle sonne comme une déclaration de guerre commerciale contre des concurrents, mais aussi contre des alliés traditionnels de Washington. Le président américain a annoncé 46% de hausse pour le Vietnam, 34% pour la Chine, 24% pour le Japon, 20% pour l'Union européenne, mais aussi 50% pour le Lesotho, 47% pour Madagascar, 37% pour le Botswana et rien pour la Russie, la Corée du Nord, la Biélorussie … Tandis que l'Union européenne se préparait à négocier, Pékin a riposté vite et fort, les tarifs douaniers sur les importations américaines passantde 34% à 84%. Bloomberg décrivait alors l'escalade en cours entre la Chine et les Etats-Unis - qui représentent 40% de l'économie mondiale à eux deux - comme une « guerre nucléaire commerciale"».Coup de théâtre mercredi soir : Donald Trump a annoncé la suspension des droits de douane pour 90 jours, laissant cependant un taux minimum uniforme de 10%. Une pause qui ne s'applique pas à la Chine taxée à 125%, ennemie principale des Etats-Unis qui a osé répliquer à Washington. Donald Trump justifie la pause « par la volonté de plus de 75 pays de négocier. »Concrètement, durant cette période, qui a pris effet « immédiatement » après son annonce, l'ensemble des pays du globe sont désormais soumis à des droits de douane ajustés à 10%.Selon l'Insee, le commerce mondial devrait reculer de 4 points. En Europe, l'Allemagne ou l'Italie, dont 10% des exportations vont vers les États-Unis (respectivement 3,3 et 4,2% de leur PIB), devraient être plus touchées que la France et l'Espagne (moins de 7,5% de leurs exportations et moins de 2% du PIB). Mais, rappelle l'ancien commissaire européen au Commerce et ex-directeur général de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce - OMC, Pascal Lamy « les Etats-Unis représentent 13% des importations mondiales, donc 87% du commerce international n'a aucune raison de se laisser contaminer par cette folie »Visée depuis mi-mars par des droits de douane américains de 25% sur l'acier et l'aluminium, l'Union européenne, après que le président américain a fait machine arrière, a suspendu pour 90 jours les mesures de rétorsion approuvées par les États membre et qui prévoient une hausse de 25% sur l'acier et l'aluminium, les amandes, le jus d'orange, la volaille, le soja, le tabac et les yachts… Le gouverneur de la Banque de France François Villeroy de Galhau asalué un « début de retour à la raison économique », alors que la Bourse de New York s'est envolée à l'annonce de cette pause. Toutefois, l'incertitude et la confusion se répandent dans les cercles industriels et chez les distributeurs américains comme européens, tandis que les marchés ne savent plus à quel saint se vouer.LA TURQUIE À L'HEURE DES RÉGIMES AUTORITAIRESAu pouvoir depuis 22 ans, le président turc, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a fait incarcérer le 23 mars, une des rares personnes qui étaient en mesure de le battre dans les urnes : le social-démocrate et atatürkiste revendiqué Ekrem Imamoglu, maire d'Istanbul depuis 2019, qui devait être, le même jour, désigné comme candidat à la prochaine présidentielle du Parti républicain du peuple. En l'attaquant avec l'arme la plus redoutable dont il dispose − la justice −, sous couvert de multiples accusations, dont celle de « corruption », et en réprimant les imposantes manifestations de protestation organisées dans tout le pays, l'homme fort de la Turquie achève ce qu'il a commencé il y a une bonne dizaine d'années : le détricotage systématique de l'État de droit et des contre-pouvoirs. Cette régression de la démocratie a été marquée dès 2013 par la répression des manifestations anti-Erdoğan du parc de Gezi à Taksim, suivie d'une dérive autoritaire. Puis, deux ans plus tard, par la fin brutale et sanglante des négociations de paix avec les Kurdes et l'incarcération d'élus et de figures politiques comme le populaire Selahattin Demirtaş. S'y sont ajoutées aussi les répercussions du coup d'Etat raté de 2016 et les purges gigantesques au sein des institutions publiques des membres de la confrérie du prédicateur Fethullah Gülen ; avec qui le président s'était pourtant allié pendant des décennies. Il y a eu ensuite l'adoption de lois liberticides, la destitution de maires et les arrestations de plus en plus nombreuses d'intellectuels, d'artistes, de journalistes de gauche ou proches de l'opposition libérale. De tout temps, le chef de l'État est apparu prêt à faire un pas de plus pour garder le pouvoir. Jamais, toutefois, il n'était allé aussi loin qu'aujourd'hui.Dans la foulée de l'arrestation du maire d'Istanbul, la livre turque a plongé à son niveau le plus bas face au billet vert et l'indice de la Bourse d'Istanbul a chuté de près de 7%, déclenchant une suspension temporaire. Le Quai d'Orsay a fait part de sa « profonde préoccupation » tandis que Berlin a dénoncé « un grave revers pour la démocratie ». L'autoritarisme croissant d'Erdoğan embarrasse particulièrement les Européens au moment où la Turquie, de par sa puissance militaire, se pose en alliée incontournable pour renforcer le pilier européen de l'OTAN, face au rapprochement entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine. Située à la croisée de l'Europe, de l'Asie et du Moyen-Orient, et point de passage stratégique vers la mer Noire (via le détroit du Bosphore), elle se sait indispensable sur de nombreux dossiers : la guerre en Ukraine, où Ankara a su dès le début ménager à la fois Kyiv, en lui livrant des drones, et Moscou, en contournant les sanctions ; la Syrie de l'après-Bachar, où elle entend user de son influence auprès des nouvelles autorités. Sans oublier son industrie d'armement en plein boom, à laquelle s'intéressent déjà certaines capitales européennes pour contrer l'expansionnisme de Poutine. De quoi faire dire au secrétaire général de l'OTAN qu'il serait temps que Bruxelles et Ankara coopèrent plus étroitement sur la question sécuritaire.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Turkey in the past two weeks in protest at the arrest and jailing of the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu. He's seen as one of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strongest political rivals and since his arrest he's been voted as the opposition party's presidential candidate in the next elections. He's been accused of corruption, which he strongly denies and his supporters see his detainment as a political move by the Government. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss whether we're witnessing the end of democracy in Turkey.Guests: Mark Lowen, BBC Correspondent and former BBC Istanbul Correspondent Dr Ziya Meral, Lecturer in International Studies and Diplomacy, SOAS Firdevs Robinson, Turkish journalist and broadcaster Monica Marks, Assistant Professor Middle East Politics , NYU in Abu Dhabi Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight and Beth Ashmead Latham Sound engineers: Dave O'Neill and James Beard Production Coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Richard Vadon(Image: Demonstration organised by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) against the detention of Istanbul's mayor, in Istanbul, Turkey - 29 March 2025.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Israeli military said Saturday evening it had expanded its ground offensive in the southern Gaza Strip to expand a buffer zone along the borders of the Strip, the IDF said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced this morning that the security cabinet last night voted to increase pressure on Hamas. This comes as mediation efforts are stepping up. Berman explains where negotiations stand now -- and why. Last week, Gazans took to the streets in protest against the Hamas regime throughout the Gaza Strip. This morning we learned that Hamas operatives kidnapped, tortured and executed a 22-year-old Palestinian man, Oday Nasser Al Rabay, who participated in last week’s wave of protests, according to his family. This comes as we learn of a June 2023 document from the Defense Ministry unit that oversees the Gaza Strip which recommended a potential long-term truce (hudna) with Hamas. Berman delves into what this document says about Israel's "conception" of Hamas capabilities. Hundreds of thousands of anti-government demonstrators rallied in Istanbul Saturday calling for democracy to be defended after the arrest of mayor Ekrem Imamoglu which sparked Turkey’s worst street unrest in over a decade. Berman examines the Israel-Turkey relationship -- or lack thereof -- since October 7, 2023. Syria’s new transitional government was sworn in Saturday, nearly four months after the Assad family was removed from power and as the new authorities in Damascus work to bring back stability to the war-torn country. While the 23-member Cabinet is religiously and ethnically mixed, Israel sees itself as a defender of Syria's minorities, says Berman. Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Last night saw the fifth night of fierce protests across Turkey, after the main rival politician to the country's President Erdogan, was formally arrested and charged with corruption, having been detained on Wednesday. Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul, has been declared as the CHP - the Republican People's Party's 2028 presidential nominee - in the last few hours. Women are being seen on the streets in their thousands and Imamoglu's wife, Dilek Kaya Imamoglu, addressed crowds outside of the Istanbul city hall yesterday. Clare McDonnell discusses the situation with the BBC's Emily Wither and Feride Eralp, a feminist activist in Turkey.Since its release, the Netflix TV series Adolescence has caused widespread discussion about what's shaping our teenagers' lives. The four-part series follows the fallout from 13-year-old Jamie's arrest on suspicion of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show is a critique of social media-boosted toxic masculinity and its role in the teenage experience. Clare discusses the issues with clinical psychologist, Dr Amani Milligan and Consultant Forensic Psychologist, Dr Ruth Tully.The National Crime Agency has launched a month-long social media campaign to combat the threat posed to teenage boys (15-17 years old) by financially motivated sexual extortion or ‘sextortion'. Marie Smith from the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Emma Hardy from Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) explain why this campaign is so urgent. Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990 is a landmark exhibition currently on at the Whitworth in Manchester featuring more than 90 women artists and collectives whose ideas helped fuel the women's liberation movement during a period of significant social, economic and political change.

The ongoing protests in Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu have led to not only arrests of demonstrators and journalists, but also a rout in Turkey's currency and stock market. As Turkish President Erdogan tries to manage the fallout from Imamoglu's arrest, many are asking whether this decision to move against his main political rival is looking like his biggest strategic mistake yet. Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into the wider fallout from Imamoglu's arrest.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan calls Turkey protests 'evil' as unrest continuesAs protests over Imamoglu arrest rock Turkey, what's next for Erdogan?Turkey scrambles to stop financial routPresident Trump hosts Greek Independence Day celebration- ‘The legacy of the Greeks is all around us'Cyprus gets credit rating boost: What it means for the economy

Protests against the arrest of Istanbul mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, who denies corruption charges, continued on Sunday. Also: earrings worth $769,500 recovered by US police after they had been swallowed.

Protests in Turkey enter their sixth day following the jailing of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu on corruption charges. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the demonstrations in support of the detained figure have turned into what he called “a movement of violence”.

Turkey's interior ministry says 1,133 people have been detained after days of protests against the arrest last week of Istanbul's popular mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, on corruption charges. More than 70 demonstrators were detained overnight outside Istanbul. Police also arrested a number of left-wing politicians, lawyers and at least 10 journalists in pre-dawn raids.

On Wednesday Turkish authorities detained Ekrem Imamoglu, the popular mayor of Istanbul and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strongest political rival, a move that follows a wider crackdown on opposition figures over the past months. Imamoglu, who was preparing to assume the presidency of the CHP, the main opposition party, has said he will not back down. Henri Barkey, an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University, joins Thanos Davelis to look into Imamoglu's arrest, a move many see as bringing Turkey closer to endless Erdogan rule.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Istanbul mayor arrested days before likely presidential nominationErdogan rival arrested days before becoming presidential candidateTurkey moves closer to endless Erdogan rule as biggest rival detainedTurkish Markets Sink Most in World as Erdogan Deepens PurgeAthens moving ahead with power linkGuterres announces new round of Cyprus talks in JulyProgress by avoiding setbacks as Geneva talks keep Cyprus dialogue alive

//The Wire//2300Z March 19, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: JUDICIAL ACTIVISM CONTINUES IN WASHINGTON. JFK DOCUMENT RELEASE CONTINUES. UNREST IN TURKEY FOLLOWING ARREST OF POLITICAL OPPOSITION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The various wars continue as before. American bombing continues in Yemen, Israeli bombing continues in Gaza.Turkey: Significant developments on the political front have resulted in economic turmoil. Over the weekend Turkish forces arrested Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul. Imamoglu was Erdogan's primary political opponent and was expected to be named as the official candidate running against Erdogan in the upcoming election. Around one hundred other political opponents of varying levels of importance were also arrested.AC: How this will work out is anyone's guess, though this is hardly a surprising development for Turkish politics. Despite Turkey being a NATO member, these types of electoral shenanigans happen rather blatantly every few years, and often result in an economic downturn due to the instability of the situation.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Many highly controversial and politically unsavory actions continue among the judiciary. Yesterday another D.C. District judge seems to have banned Executive Order 14183, which prevents mentally unwell individuals from serving in the military (such as transgender individuals).AC: It would seem as though the era of more openly weaponizing the judiciary for political purposes has become a main vector for opposing President Trump's policies. No judge has the authority to dictate what the Commander in Chief can do with the US Armed Forces, full stop. Likewise, no judge has the authority to allow illegals to remain in the United States illegally, as that power was explicitly not grated to the judiciary by the Constitution. Nevertheless, these efforts continue tiresomely, and are leading to an erosion of the entire judicial branch of government...for which the judiciary themselves are solely to blame.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Following the release of the JFK files last night, multiple details must be noted as newcomers to the investigation begin to observe some things for the first time. Not only is a grand case of expectation management called for, but many people in our modern time make the assumption that the initial investigation into the JFK assassination simply wasn't conducted, or that the people investigating at the time were completely clueless as to what happened. This is not so; many exceptionally damning details of the investigation have been public since the very early years. There is no one report that will state "X did it" with any trustworthiness, however there are a LOT of one-off random documents and details that very strongly indicate that this wasn't just a simple assassination. By digging into these "new" documents, a lot of people are figuring out why the JFK assassination is so famously suspicious. Now, instead of someone thinking "those JFK conspiracy theorists are stupid", a fresh focus on the old documents from that time may persuade someone to think "hey that conspiracy dude actually has a point, this is really sketchy". As of right now, that's probably the most to come out of these documents. Almost all of the documents that have been released so far have already *been* released. As such, many exceptionally interesting documents have been found in the latest release that have long been in the public eye, for anyone who wanted them. This is going to result in a lot of social media pages touting "new" documents implicating this person, or that group...documents which have been public since the early days.Another detail to remember is that, while alternative media is often preferable to mainstream media, this does not automatically make everyone with a Twitter account a highly t
