Riot police stormed the headquarters of Turkey’s main opposition CHP, using tear gas and water cannons against supporters. The raid followed a controversial court ruling that reshaped party leadership, amid broader arrests of opposition figures, includingIstanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. Critics see a pattern of repression and democratic backsliding. Despite this, Europe’s response has been limited, with observers pointing to security, migration and geopolitical interests shaping EU-Turkey relations.
