In Istanbul’s Maltepe district, an extraordinary crowd—over 2.2 million citizens, according to organizers—has taken to the streets. Students, mayors, workers, families: a human tide demanding democracy, justice, and freedom in the face of Erdoğan’s increasingly authoritarian

Elon Musk’s decision to block @ekrem_imamoglu ‘s X account only in Turkey — where he represents the democratic opposition — is deeply alarming. If President @RTErdogan weren’t in power, and if Musk didn’t share a certain political alignment, this act of censorship would never

The police raid on Istanbul Mayor and opposition leader @ekrem_imamoglu’s headquarters, the arrest of 100 people, including all his aides, and the detention of journalists mark a dangerous escalation in Erdoğan’s crackdown on dissent. With İmamoğlu leading in the polls, this is

Well played, Moldova 🎯. In today’s vote you’ve made a clear choice: Europe. Not the Russia of grey futures and closed doors, but a Union of rights, freedoms and the rule of law. Moldova needs Europe — but let’s be honest, Europe also needs Moldova’s energy and determination.

Looks like the people of #Moldova had a different idea from you about ‘democracy’: better luck next time, Mr. Putin #MoldovaIsEurope 🇲🇩🇪🇺

“The courage of Dijana Hrka, a mother starving herself in the name of justice after losing her son in the Novi Sad tragedy, shames those in power in Serbia. She continues her hunger strike in front of the Serbian Parliament, demanding truth, justice, and accountability for her

Kneeling, hands tied, facing the wall — this is the image of Vučić’s Serbia today. These are students and peaceful citizens whose only “crime” is asking for freedom, justice, transparency, and an end to corruption. Serbia is an EU candidate country. Silence from Brussels is not

🇹🇷 Yesterday night in Istanbul, democracy is under siege. Police forces loyal to President Erdoğan have surrounded the provincial HQ of Turkey’s main opposition party CHP, blocking all access while citizens were “meant to be distracted” by the national football team’s World Cup

🇷🇸 Today in Serbia, a young student, Bogdan Jovičić, is treated not as a voice of conscience, but as a dangerous criminal. Vaguely accused of taking part in the August protests and denied the right to a proper defence, he sees the doors of justice closing before him: his

Congratulations to @sandumaiamd for her clear victory in the presidential elections today, following her victory in the referendum on Europe two weeks ago. The heavy Russian interference was in vain: fraud, bought votes, bomb scares, voters flown abroad. #Moldova is Europe, and

Today’s hearing against Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is yet another blow to Turkish democracy. The most popular opposition leader now risks a political ban through a sham trial aimed at silencing dissent. Erdoğan’s authoritarian drift threatens democratic pluralism and the right

A few days ago, in a Belgrade police station, Nikolina Sindjelić was arrested, beaten and even threatened with rape for daring to raise her voice. Yesterday night, thousands of students filled the streets chanting “We are all Nikolina!”, before facing violent arrests themselves.

As European Democrats, we are appalled by the grotesque demand of 2,352 years in prison against Istanbul’s mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu @imamoglu_int . This is not a legal case – it’s judicial terrorism, a blatant tool of Erdoğan’s regime to crush political opposition. When justice

We must react, @EU_Commission ! In Turkey 🇹🇷, President @RTErdogan ’s regime is dismantling democracy piece by piece. From Istanbul Mayor @ekrem_imamoglu to dozens of other elected mayors from the opposition CHP, democratic leaders have been arrested and paraded like criminals.
